LANL Construction:
Pajarito Corridor

The Pajarito Corridor is a series of technical areas along Pajarito Road, which runs through Los Alamos National Laboratory. These technical areas house a significant portion of LANL's nuclear operations.

Over approximately the next ten years, the infrastructure of these areas will be modernized to ensure continuous support of U.S. stockpile stewardship objectives.

Environmental priorities realigned

The Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration and the New Mexico Environment Department have announced an agreement that outlines the Los Alamos National Laboratory's environmental cleanup priorities through 2014.

Efforts will be focused on removing 3,706 cubic meters of transuranic waste currently stored above ground at the Laboratory by June 30, 2014, as well as continuing to monitor area groundwater and surface water to ensure that no chemicals or radioactive materials from past or current operations are present.

The Framework Agreement serves as a blueprint for carrying out this work in a cost-efficient and effective way while protecting workers, the public, and the environment.

Framework Agreement specifics

Laboratory's TRU waste shipments on track

Los Alamos National Laboratory shipped 339.3 cubic meters of transuranic waste between April 1 and June 31, 2012, for a total of 584.7 cubic meters of above-ground waste removed from the Laboratory so far this fiscal year.

The Lab continues its steady progress toward the goal of removing 3,706 cubic meters of this waste by June 30, 2014.

Additional details about the Laboratory's "3,706 TRU Campaign" waste processing and shipping activities during the second quarter can be viewed in the campaign's status report for the quarter.

Protecting the Area's Water

The Laboratory protects water resources in the area by monitoring groundwater and surface water. Read more >

LANL Environmental Report

The LANL Environmental Surveillance Report is compiled annually and provides the most comprehensive, consolidated "report card" on environmental conditions site-wide at LANL.

Enhancing Our Nation's Security

Global Security (PADGS) enhances our nation's security by developing and applying the Laboratory's technical capabilities to an array of threats that have emerged since the end of the Cold War. These threats include weakened control over nuclear materials and expertise from the former Soviet Union (FSU), proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), the more lethal aims of today's terrorists, and the emergence of "rogue states" threatening U.S. interests and regional stability.

Global Security Staff

Global Security draws on a staff with remarkable breadth and depth of scientific capability, professionals who have made their marks in nuclear engineering, astrophysics, statistics, computer modeling, risk assessment, detector development, and many more areas.

Moving Technology to Market

The Laboratory's Technology Transfer Division helps move technologies from the Lab to the marketplace to benefit society and the U.S. economy.

We do this by ensuring that Laboratory inventions receive intellectual property protection, which enables us to license Los Alamos technologies to industry and start-up companies.

As the Laboratory's liaison with industry, we also manage Lab-industry research partnerships and serve as the Laboratory's resource on industry relations.
