Worries about missing keys and other security lapses at some of the nation's top-secret nuclear weapons labs have prompted the federal agency that maintains the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile to review locks, keys and procedures at all U.S. facilities.
The Energy Department's National Nuclear Security Administration, which oversees nuclear weapons programs within the department, is sending a team of inspectors to launch the security review in February, The Associated Press reports.
In July, the NNSA announced new plans to reinforce safeguards with added security experts, more frequent surveillance, a review of past studies and investigations and creation of a commission and separate panel for more long-range planning.
