"On the one-year anniversary of the Las Conchas fire, Los Alamos National Laboratory announced it's moving along with its plan to remove radioactive waste from its dump site.Fear ignited last summer when Las Conchas flames were less than four miles away from the waste. On Tuesday, the 1,014th shipment left the lab to be stored at WIPP in Carlsbad.\"We have a plan and we are moving forward with that plan. In fact, we are ahead of schedule,\" lab director Charles McMillan said.The waste removal will ease fire concerns and concerns from nearby communities as leaders aren't sure what the long term impacts of the waste will be on the local environment.The lab said up to 600 more shipments are needed to completely clear the site by June of 2014.The Las Conchas Fire was the second largest wildfire in state history. The fire forced the evacuation of Los Alamos for several days last year. \u00A0"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
