Fiscal Times:

$2 Billion NSA Spy Center is Going Up in Flames

Yeah the new one, Utah containing e-records of the world since Genesis, and before

The National Security Agency’s $2 billion mega spy center is going up in flames.

Technical glitches have sparked fiery explosions within the NSA’s newest and largest data storage facility in Utah, destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, and delaying the facility’s opening by one year.

And no one seems to know how to fix it.

The contractor that designed the flawed system—Pennsylvania-based Klingstubbins—said in a statement that it has “uncovered the issue” and is working on “implementing a permanent fix.”

But that’s not the case, according to the Army Corps of Engineers (ACE), which is in charge of overseeing the data center’s construction. ACE disagreed with the contractor and said the meltdowns are “not yet sufficiently understood.” 

A report by ACE in the Wall Street Journal said the government has incomplete information about the design of the electrical system that could pose new problems if settings need to change on circuit breakers. The report also said regular quality controls in design and construction were bypassed in an effort to “fast track” the project.
