Given the frightening record of this place, it's startling to think that they received almost 1/6th of all the stimulus money for labs across the US! But it could be enormously important for regional ecological research.
GOOD news at the Brookhaven National Laboratory has been piling up fast in recent months. In the midst of a recession, the lab here is launching huge new projects and generating hundreds of jobs.
“The lab’s a really exciting place right now,” said Samuel Aronson, its director. “Things are popping.”
Even a former critic agrees. “B.N.L. is clearly on a roll,” said Richard Amper, executive director of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society, an environmental group, and a member of the lab’s Community Advisory Council, formed 10 years ago when the lab was being criticized by neighbors for incidents involving radioactive and chemical pollution.
