The US Department of Energy on Friday said it would be unable to meet a
deadline to remove drums of nuclear waste from Los Alamos National
Laboratory in New Mexico because of safety concerns tied to the
radiological materials.
New Mexico officials asked federal officials to remove 3,706 cubic meters of waste from a mesa on the Los Alamos complex, out of a concern that wildfires could reach the material.
