spokesman said on Saturday.

Los Alamos halts operations; Classified

Los Alamos halts operations; Classified
data disks lost at Sandia and Los Alamos
07/17/2004 01:24 AMTwo breaking news items today that relate to security -- or a
frightening lack thereof -- at US government-run nuclear labs Sandia
and Los Alamos. First, an item from my Wired News colleague Noah
Shachtman, on Defensetech blog:
Los Alamos National Laboratory director Pete Nanos shut down the
country's leading nuclear weapons lab on Friday, after a set of
classified computer disks disappeared, and a student was hit in the
eye with a powerful laser beam -- all in the space of a week.
"As of today, Director Nanos has suspended all Operations at the
Laboratory," an internal e-mail obtained by Wired News read. "This is
a very serious step."
"This willful flouting of the rules must stop, and I don't care how
many people I have to fire to make it stop. If you think the rules are
silly, if you think compliance is a joke, please resign now and save
me the trouble," Nanos added in a separate e-mail to Los Alamos
employees.
And separately today, this press release was issued by Sandia National
Laboratories:
Sandia National Laboratories has located a floppy disk that had turned
up missing in a recent inventory. The floppy disk, which had been
marked classified, was found about 1 p.m. today (Friday). Sandia had
reported the disk as missing June 30 in a wall-to-wall inventory.
(...)
Sandia Corporation President and Laboratories Director C. Paul
Robinson said: "We are relieved the disk has been found. But in my
mind, the nature of the near miss of this recent incident is far too
close for comfort. We must find better ways and procedures for
ensuring the protection of such material."

More from Shachtman on Los Alamos: "The
Last Man Standing"
03/13/2003 10:24 AMNoah Schachtman of Defense Tech tells BoingBoing: "My latest article
on the Los Alamos scandals focuses in on Frank Dickson --
the "last man standing" among the accused in the lab's senior
management."
"Give Frank Dickson, general counsel of the beleaguered Los Alamos
National Laboratory, some credit: He's a survivor.
"Allegations of discrimination and espionage in the 1990s swallowed
up a generation of lab-management staff; Dickson remained.
Accusations of corruption and mismanagement have forced his bosses to
resign and his subordinates to relinquish their responsibilities;
Dickson hung on.
"Now, the nuclear weapons lab's new director has proclaimed that he's
ready to "drain the swamp" and give it a fresh start. But Dickson,
singled out by Los Alamos whistleblowers for repeatedly interfering
with FBI investigations into lab shenanigans, clings to power -- for
now...
