Los Alamos Begins to Resume Work

The Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico last week began to resume some low-risk activities following a halt ordered earlier this month to nearly all operations at the research facility in response to security concerns, Associated Press reported today (see GSN, July 28).

Administrative work has started again at Los Alamos and the laboratory’s chief financial officer division has resumed operations, said Los Alamos spokesman Kevin Roark. A laboratory project manager and staff have been assigned to monitor the review and resumption of activities, he said.

“There are a certain number of activities that have been stood up as of today,” Roark said yesterday. “We don’t have a firm handle on the exact numbers because it’s constantly changing,” he said (Leslie Hoffman, Associated Press/Washington Post, July 29).
