The Trump administration has approved a significant expansion for Los Alamos National Laboratory, adding 705,000 square feet of facilities by 2038. This expansion will boost nuclear weapons research, development, and high-tech experiments, including a new supercomputing complex and an X-ray free electron laser. The move is controversial, with critics worrying about cuts to cleanup programs and environmental concerns, while supporters see job growth and increased budgets. The labs workforce has already grown by 25% since 2008, and the expansion plans include increased water and power use. The exact timelines are still unclear, but the goal is to maintain and enhance Americas nuclear stockpile.
