Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — Citizens of China, Iran, North Korea and Russia will be unable to enter Los Alamos National Laboratory and other national labs due to new federal requirements signed into law at the end of the Biden administration. The prohibition is expected to affect about 70 employees at LANL, and would prohibit visits by scientists and students from the four countries. The restriction is waived for permanent residents of the United States. The goal of restricting access to national laboratories is to keep sensitive technologies from falling into the wrong hands.
