Los Alamos National Laboratory, one of the nation's premier nuclear laboratories isn't taking the necessary precautions to guard against wildfire. This finding by the U.S. Energy Department's inspector general comes as wildfire risks intensify across the drought-stricken West. The birthplace of the atomic bomb, Los Alamos National Laboratory already has experienced hundreds of millions of dollars in losses and damages from previous wildfires.
