450 LANL employees apply to voluntarily leave

ABC7: Los Alamos National Laboratory reports about 450 people have applied to voluntarily leave their jobs at the lab. Lab employees who decide to voluntarily leave had until yesterday to submit their applications. The move is in light of a $170 million shortfall in LANL's budget, brought about by budget cuts and the transfer to a new for-profit management company to run the lab. Both LANL and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are expected to between 450-750 job cuts each over the coming year.
