Alliant Powder Tidbits

Radford Arsenal in Virginia is Government owned, and contractor run facility.  Alliant held the contract for years, then BAE (British Aerospace) was the contractor.  Currently Northrop Grumman is the contractor under the name of New River Energetics.  Evidently, NRE has built a new plant on the campus.  They have shut down the old plant for now.  It has been alluded to that all the Alliant Powder Production staff was laid off.  One bit information held that NRE would get the new plant running and then bring back the Alliant production sometime after the new year? So this sort jives with the information that Powder Valley had posted on their FB page of suspended commercial powder production till the end of the year?
