ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE AT LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY. THE DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES SAFETY BOARD SAYS WORKERS PLACED PLUTONIUM IN AN AREA THAT HELD NUCLEAR MATERIAL. PLACING THE PLUTONIUM IN THE AREA COULD HAVE LEAD TO A BURST OF RADIATION. IT WAS SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THE ISSUE WAS DETECTED.
NOW, THOSE WORKERS ARE NO LONGER OVERSEEING THE MOVEMENT OF PLUTONIUM AND CHANGES IN THE WAY THE PROCESS IS CONDUCTED ARE NOW IN PLACE.
