A California laboratory tasked with protecting America’s nuclear arsenal is under fire after federal investigators uncovered alarming security failures that could have put some of the nation’s most sensitive secrets at risk. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) slapped the operator of the Special Technologies Laboratory in Santa Barbara with a preliminary violation notice on Oct. 16, revealing that classified information had been processed on computer systems that were not authorized to handle it, according to the Daily Mail.
