Head of troubled federal lab quits
The director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory was replaced Thursday amid a growing number of government investigations into charges of widespread theft and fraud at the birthplace of the atomic bomb.
John Browne, a physicist and lab veteran who became director in 1997, will step down Monday.
Browne, 60, said he was not pressured to quit by federal officials or the University of California, which runs the lab for the Energy Department. But he said university president Richard Atkinson accepted his resignation during a Dec. 23 conversation in which Atkinson said the lab may need “management change” to address its problems.
The FBI, Energy Department and at least two congressional committees are looking into alleged credit card abuses at the lab and the disappearance of high-tech hardware and other equipment.
