Document Description
The U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, has the responsibility to assist national programs to reduce and counter threats from weapons of mass destruction including nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. The Proposed Action is to assemble on-site at LLNL an approx. 1,500 ft2, one-story permanent prefabricated Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) laboratory facility which would have three individual BSL-3 laboratory rooms, including one capable of handling rodents. This draft EZ is a revised version of a previously released EA which has been updated to consider the potential threat to the BSL-3 facility from terrorists in response to a Ninth Circuit Court ruling.
