A company contracted to manage an Amarillo, Texas nuclear weapons facility has to pay US government $18.4 million in a settlement over allegations that its atomic boffins fudged their timesheets to collect more money from Uncle Sam. Consolidated Nuclear Security LLC (CNS) has managed the Pantex Plant since July 2014 and for the following six years, some of its workers were alleged to have submitted false time sheets to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) for hours they never worked.
