The Energy Department proposed $3.3 million in fines Friday against
managers of the Los Alamos nuclear weapons lab because of a security
breakdown in which classified documents were found in a trailer-park drug
raid.

The civil penalties, the bulk of them levied against the University of
California, the longtime former manager of the lab, were the largest such
fines the department has ever imposed.

The enforcement action stems from an incident in October 2006, when police
found more than 1,000 pages of classified documents and several computer
storage devices in a trailer occupied by a former worker at the lab.
