A whistleblower lawsuit filed against federal contractors at the Hanford vitrification plant is scheduled to go to trial May 2012.

On Friday, attorneys for Bechtel National and URS said they needed that much time to prepare for what they describe as a complex case.

However, the attorney for whistleblower Walter Tamosaitis asked for the case to be heard sooner and accused Bechtel of dragging out the case to the detriment of Tamosaitis.

"This is not a complex case; it's a whistleblower case," Sheridan said. "A high-placed individual stood up for safety and was hammered down."
