A Santa Barbara laboratory tasked with helping safeguard the USA’s nuclear arsenal has been slapped with a proposed $196,350 federal fine over serious security failures. Investigators found that classified information was processed on unauthorized computer systems, potentially putting some of the country’s most sensitive secrets at risk. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) found that the Special Technologies Laboratory violated federal security requirements, with one of the violations receiving the Department of Energy‘s highest severity rating.
