Abstract
Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory was established in 1943 as site Y of the Manhattan Project, with the single purpose of designing and building an atomic bomb. Since then the primary responsibility of the laboratory has been assuring the safety and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent. In 1981, the laboratory was renamed Los Alamos National Laboratory.
