Judicial Watch has reported extensively on similar beaches at government-owned nuclear laboratories with notoriously faulty management, weak security and lousy oversight. Among the biggest offenders is the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, among the world’s largest science institutions and the nation’s key nuclear weapons research facility. The massive lab is charged with developing technology to reduce global threats and ensure the safety, security and reliability of the U.S. nuclear deterrent. Last year Los Alamos mistakenly shipped radioactive material on a commercial cargo plane. Before that lab officials sent top secret data relating to nuclear weapons via an open electronic mail network and police accidentally stumbled upon it in a drug dealer’s mobile home during a drug bust. Other recent Los Alamos breaches include foreign scientists that stole “classified restricted data” involving nuclear weapons and passed it along to a foreign government that’s hostile to the U.S. Back in the 1990s a Chinese communist scientist stole nuclear secrets from Los Alamos and Judicial Watch represented the whistleblower, Notra Trulock, responsible for launching an investigation into the Chinese scientist’s actions.
