Update By Alex Thomas – 30,000 Barrels of Plutonium Stored At Los Alamos nuclear laboratory?
Concerned Citizens For Nuclear Safety, an anti nuclear watchdog group, has reported that over 30,000 barrels of plutonium contaminated waste is being stored in tents ABOVE ground near the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
These barrels may be in danger due to a massive fire that has been quoted as, “entirely uncontained and highly unpredictable.”
“The weather forecast for Los Alamos predicts the wind through Tuesday afternoon will be from the southeast, then switching from the southwest at 11-18 mph with minimum humidities in the lower teens. This could encourage the fire to move closer to Los Alamos,” reported Wildfiretoday.com.
This is absolutely critical information that was given a paragraph in the corporate controlled media.
Government officials have been quick to claim that the situation does not pose a risk to public health and while we all hope they are right, it is the job of the press to MAKE SURE.
NBC Nightly news was one of the few newscasts to cover the fact that THREE nuclear power plants are currently in danger in the United States!
KOAT.com has reported that a small fire was put out at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and that all radioactive materials are safe.
A small fire has been contained at Los Alamos National Laboratory, which is closed. The 1-acre fire was reported in Water Canyon within Lab’s Technical Area 49. The Lab will remain closed on Tuesday as well.
“I have talked to the director of the laboratory. He’s assured me that all of the materials of a hazardous nature or a radioactive nature are all well controlled and are not in danger and not threatened,” Sen. Jeff Bingaman said.
That’s right, officials have assured the public that all radioactive materials are controlled and safe yet the weather and fire have been openly labeled highly unpredictable?
The Huffington Post also covered the very real dangers and noted that several metric tons of plutonium and other hazards are currently on site.
Meanwhile, a wildland fire near the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico — a massive research facility that is home to several metric tons of plutonium and numerous other hazardous and volatile materials — had inched to within just over a mile of the southern edge of that facility’s boundary.
….
Of greatest concern at Los Alamos is a part of that facility called Technical Area 55 (TA-55), which includes Plutonium Facility 4 (PF-4). Peter Stockton, a senior investigator with the Project on Government Oversight, said a fire at PF-44 would be “a fucking disaster” that could result in large and lethal releases of radiation. He noted, too, that the Los Alamos facility has had problems with its internal fire suppression systems in the past.
But Roark said that those problems, which have been addressed, involved fire threats inside the building, and that they were unrelated to an approaching wildland fire. He also pointed to the Cerro Grande fire of 2000 — a massive New Mexico wildfire that ultimately breached the facility’s boundary, burning some 7,000 acres of laboratory property and damaging several buildings.
Even in that instance, Roark said, critical buildings containing nuclear material remained safe.
Enenews points to some startling quotes from a senator in New Mexico.
At :40 in – Massive fire 10 years ago took 17 days to burn as much as current fire did in just 2 days
At 5:15 in – Senator: We hope we’re in better position to avoid a catastrophic fire… We’ll find out
Watch video here.
Nuclear Watch New Mexico has reported, in detail, the dangers that a fire poses to the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
We are not so concerned about the hardened facilities at the Lab constructed of concrete and cleared of combustible materials (i.e., trees and brush) around their perimeters. We doubt that there would be any breech to their containment that would let contaminants escape (with one caveat below). But we do have concerns. One is the fact that over 6 decades the Lab has blown up a lot of uranium and depleted uranium in dynamic high explosives experiments in the general area in front of the fire. We don’t know to what extent the shrapnel or debris has been cleaned up and could possibly be aerosolized.
Another concern, given both the velocity and ferocity of the Las Conchas Fire, is whether any Lab facilities loose their power and back up generators failed to work for whatever reason. In that case containment systems could fail with unknown safety implications.
But our biggest concern is whether the fire could reach the fabric buildings (essentially very large tents) at Technical Area-54’s Area G that store some 20,000 barrels of plutonium-contaminated wastes from nuclear weapons research and production. We recommend that the public use satellite-based fire detection data and fire intelligence information published by the US Forest Service to monitor the situation (see related post for instructions on how use it). From that we can “see” that the leading edge of the fire is a little more than three miles from Area G.
Note: This is obviously a serious situation but one that cannot be 100% accurately predicted even with the best information available. We will continue to monitor the fire and bring you updates as they come in.

One has to suspend all normal modes of thinking and understand that the individuals with power behind the 9/11 False Flag Attack on September 11, 2001 don’t think like you and me.
These are evil minded individuals without conscience, without boundaries of moral and civil behavior.
The fact that thousands of people were killed and the world was put through a traumatic experience served to create a Global War on Terror and mobilized trillions of dollars, appropriated by The Military Industrial Complex, for Geo-political Hegemony of US and British Power. Don’t believe this was the purpose?
History records it so.
Is the Los Alamos Fire going to be used as a cover for a Black Op to seize Nuclear Materials that might be used in or on an American city in the near future?
Are the Supercomputing Systems at Los Alamos the target of a Computer Software Hack to enable remote control?
Would such a thing be impossible, given that no-one is currently at Los Alamos?
Currently, the announcement at the Los Alamos website reads:
Los Alamos National Laboratory
6/26/2011 20:48 – On Monday, June 27, 2011 Los Alamos National Laboratory will be closed due to a nearby wildfire. All laboratory facilities will be closed for all activities and nonessential employees are directed to remain off site. Employees are considered nonessential and should not report to work unless specifically directed by their line managers. Employees should check local news sources, the LANL Update Hotline 505-667-6622 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 505-667-6622 end_of_the_skype_highlighting and the LANL web page www.lanl.gov for updates. All radioactive and hazardous material is appropriately accounted for and protected. LANL staff is coordinating the on-site response and supporting the county and federal fire response.

CNET’s article Wildfire closes Los Alamos National Laboratory which was updated at 7 a.m. PT, reports that;
“The fire now covers more than 40,000 acres. The threat level to Los Alamos National Laboratory remains the same. A large, fast-moving wildfire threatens one of the most important and well-known national laboratories in the United States. Los Alamos National Laboratory will be closed for all nonessential personnel on Monday in the wake of a raging blaze called the Las Conchas Fire that started about 12 miles southwest of the town of Los Alamos and quickly swelled to more than 3,500 acres, or more than 5.4 square miles.”
Reuters posted early on two articles. One titled, Wildfire Triggers Evacuation for Los Alamos Laboratory describes the situation in greater detail. According to Reuters;
“Voluntary evacuations have been issued for Los Alamos, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which is threatened by a fast-moving wildfire that broke out in northern New Mexico on Sunday, authorities said. The Las Conchas Fire flared early Sunday afternoon around 12 miles southwest of Los Alamos, charring about 3,500 acres and endangering the nation’s nuclear weapons laboratory and its surrounding communities, said Lawrence Lujan, a spokesman for the Santa Fe National Forest.”
In the second Reuters article, Wildfire Spreads to Within One Mile of Los Alamos Lab, Lawrence Lujan, a spokesman for the Santa Fe National Forest states;
“Voluntary evacuations have been issued for Los Alamos, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which is threatened by a fast-moving wildfire that broke out in northern New Mexico on Sunday, authorities said. The Las Conchas Fire flared early Sunday afternoon around 12 miles southwest of Los Alamos, charring about 3,500 acres and endangering the nation’s nuclear weapons laboratory and its surrounding communities.”
According to the article at Wikipedia;
“In 2009, 69 computers which did not contain classified information were lost.[12] 2009 also saw a scare in which 2.2 pounds of missing plutonium prompted a Department of Energy investigation into the laboratory. The investigation found that the “missing plutonium” was a result of miscalculation by LANL’s statisticians and did not actually exist; but, the investigation did lead to heavy criticism of the laboratory by the DOE for security flaws and weaknesses that the DOE claimed to have found.[13][14]”
In an article posted at NPR – National Public Radio, the following report is of particular interest, namely;
Protecting the Nation’s Nuclear Materials – Government Calls Arms Complexes Secure; Critics Disagree.
Part 3: Re-Evaluating Nuclear Security, by David Kestenbaum reads;
“The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announces it will begin moving special nuclear materials from Los Alamos’ Technical Area 18 (TA-18) to a facility in Nevada. Activists have long said TA-18 has never been secure and the move is long overdue. But the government has a different view. It says security is adequate at TA-18 but could be done better and more affordably at the Nevada desert site.”
Although a few years ago, the Nuclear Incident that occurred at Minot Air Force Base should serve as an example of the kind of ‘mistake’ that can happen.
From Wikipedia:
The 2007 United States Air Force Nuclear Weapons Incident occurred at Minot Air Force Base and Barksdale Air Force Base on August 29–30, 2007. Six AGM-129 ACM cruise missiles, each loaded with a W80-1variable yield nuclear warhead, were reportedly mistakenly loaded on a United States Air Force (USAF) B-52H heavy bomber at Minot and transported to Barksdale.
The nuclear warheads in the missiles were supposed to have been removed before taking the missiles from their storage bunker. The missiles with the nuclear warheads were not reported missing and remained mounted to the aircraft at both Minot and Barksdale for a period of 36 hours. During this period, the warheads were not protected by the various mandatory security precautions required for nuclear weapons.
Between 08:00 and 09:00 (local time) on August 29, 2007, a group of USAF airmen, called the breakout crew, entered one of the weapons storage bunkers at Minot to prepare AGM-129 missiles for transport to Barksdale.
That day’s missile transport, the sixth of 12 planned ferry missions, was to have consisted of 12 AGM-129s, installed with training warheads, with six missiles per pylon and one pylon mounted under each wing of a Barksdale-assigned, 2nd Bomb Wing B-52 aircraft.
When the airmen entered the bunker, six actual warheads were still installed on their missiles, as opposed to having been replaced with the dummy training warheads.
On the morning of August 30, one of the transport aircraft’s flight officers, a Barksdale-assigned B-52 instructor radar navigator (name unknown), closely inspected the six missiles on the right wing only, which were all properly uploaded with training warheads, before signing the manifest listing the cargo as a dozen unarmed AGM-129 missiles. The B-52 command pilot did not do a final verification check before preparing to depart Minot.[10]

The B-52 departed Minot at 08:40 and landed at Barksdale at 11:23 (local times) on August 30. The aircraft remained parked and without special guard until 20:30, when a munitions team arrived to remove the missiles. After a member of the munitions crew noticed something unusual about some of the missiles, at 22:00 a “skeptical” supervisor determined that nuclear warheads were present and ordered them secured and the incident reported, 36 hours after the missiles were removed from the bunker at Minot.[11]
The incident was reported to the National Military Command Center as a Bent Spear incident, which indicates a nuclear weapon incident that is of significant concern, but does not involve the immediate threat of nuclear war (Pinnacle – Nucflash) or the accidental detonation of or severe damage to a nuclear weapon (Pinnacle – Broken Arrow).
The incident was the first of its kind in 40 years in the United States and was later described by the media as “one of the worst breaches in U.S. nuclear weapons security in decades”.[13]
The USAF and DoD at first decided to conceal the incident, in part because of the USAF policy not to comment on the storage or movement of nuclear weapons and an apparent belief that the incident would not generate much public concern; the DoD incident report contained the statement, “No press interest anticipated.” Details of the incident were then leaked by unknown DoD officials to the Military Times newspaper, which published a small article about the incident on September 5, 2007.[14]
In response, a September 5 news briefing in the Pentagon by Press Secretary Geoff Morrell stated that at no time was the public in any danger and that military personnel had custody of the weapons at all times. The USAF announced that within days of the incident, the USAF relieved the Minot munitions squadron commander and eventually disciplined 25 airmen.
On September 13, 2008, Gates announced Schlesinger’s task force’s recommendations by calling on the USAF to place all nuclear weapons under a single command. The task force suggested that the new command be called Air Force Strategic Command, which would replace the current Air Force Space Command, and make it accountable for the nuclear mission. It also called for all USAF bombers to be placed under a single command. The task force also recommended that the USAF move an additional 1,500 to 2,000 airmen into nuclear-related jobs.
On October 24, 2008 new USAF Secretary Michael Donley announced the creation of Air Force Global Strike Command. The new command became operational on August 7, 2009. The USAF’s intercontinental nuclear missile force was moved from Air Force Space Command to the new command. Barksdale was selected as the location of the new command’s headquarters.[45][46] The new major command is led by a three-star general and controls all USAF nuclear-capable bombers, missiles and personnel.[47]
Coming back to the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the following video details the scientific research conducted at Los Alamos. – Roadrunner Supercomputer Breaks the Petaflop Barrier
What if a breach of security during the Labs’ closing allows someone to place malicious software on the Roadrunner Supercomputer, or if software placed in the computer systems enabled control of the systems remotely?
Would the theft of nuclear Material go unreported as was the case in 2007 at Minot Air Force Base?
Perhaps we still believe that the government doesn’t lie to us, or that there isn’t a covert secret government that operates behind the scenes carrying out its’ diabolic plots. Remain vigilant – your life might depend on it.
Two groups that oversee Los Alamos National Laboratory and Nuclear Safety & Security are Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety (CCNS) and Nuclear Watch of New Mexico (NWNM)
Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety (CCNS) which is an environmental organization that has monitored contamination at LANL for more than a decade.
It successfully sued LANL over violations of the Clean Air Act, and continues to do independent assessment of ongoing air emissions.
