In its 2013 wrap-up, the National Nuclear Security Administration, which runs both Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory, said the two labs were critical to the agency meeting several of its goals.

The largest capital project the agency completed for the year was the Radiological Laboratory Office Building Equipment Installation at LANL, which is the first nuclear project NNSA has delivered under budget and ahead of schedule.

NNSA also recognized New Mexico researchers who garnered four of “Popular Science” magazine’s 100 best innovations from 2013, which came from LANL and Sandia. Also, researchers from Sandia were responsible for radar drop tests of B61 nuclear bombs at the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada.
