The security perimeter is intended to protect the Laboratory against the possibility of terrorist attacks. At each point of the perimeter, access is controlled by vehicle access portals (VAPs) at East Jemez Road, West Jemez Road, and the Pajarito Corridor.
- All vehicles (private, commercial, and government) on Laboratory property are subject to random inspections by the Protective Force at any time.
- A change in security condition may necessitate changes in Laboratory access with little or no notice. Road signs and the presence of Protective Force officers will alert drivers of such changes.
