Whistle-Blower Quits Livermore Lab / 20-year engineer says retaliation continues (342 words)
Lappa's conflict with lab officials began in 1997, when he helped investigate possible errors in plutonium handling at a facility called the Superblock, where workers were preparing parts for underground weapons testing in Nevada.
Lappa refused to sign the final report on the incident because it omitted his conclusion that the workers may have knowingly violated safety rules by placing too much plutonium together in a work area.
Lappa said he has been given few responsibilities in his current position and believes that he would spend the next 15 years until his retirement fighting for assignments that match his abilities.
