 United States Department of Energy National Laboratories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The national laboratory system, administered first by the Atomic Energy Commission, then the Energy Research and Development Administration, and currently the Department of Energy, is one of the largest (if not the largest) scientific research systems in the world.
With their centralization of resources (both monetary and intellectual), the national labs serve as an exemplar for Big Science.
Laboratories which did not have overlapping missions would cooperate with each other (for example, Lawrence Livermore would cooperate with the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, which itself was often in competition with Brookhaven National Laboratory).

I initially learned of the many ways Energy Department labs contribute to our security during my time in Congress, when I represented the district that is home to the Department’s Los Alamos National Laboratory.
During my tenure in Congress, at the United Nations and, more recently, at the Department of Energy I have benefitted from the experience and insight of many of the people assembled in this room.
The Energy Department is at the center of this new mission.

 Nuclear Weapons Exact a Terrible Price, by Urs Cipolat
The impending expiration of its lab oversight contracts with the Department of Energy offers UC [University of California] a unique opportunity to disengage from aiding and abetting in the violation of international law and the potential commission of genocide, crimes against humanity, and violations of the laws of war.
New nuclear weapons research and design programs, combined with the expansion of nuclear weapons labs, undermine the international non-proliferation regime, stimulate the spread of nuclear weapons, and enhance the risk of these horrific weapons actually being used.
This has been confirmed at the last Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty Review Conference in 2000, when the United States signed on to "An unequivocal undertaking by the nuclear-weapon States to accomplish the total elimination of their nuclear arsenals leading to nuclear disarmament to which all States parties [to the NPT] are committed under Article VI."

 Panelists explore lessons of Wen Ho Lee case - MIT News Office
In Wen Ho Lee's case, the leaks were damaging to him, to the nation, to the Department of Energy and to the national labs.
Kayyem suggested that Congress be banned from "fixing" anything for two years following an event like the Lee case; that the Justice Department and the FBI "go after their own people for leaking"; and that the "communications gap between the civil liberties community and the national security community" be addressed.
But the Lee case, he said, did not have to fuel Cold War II -- a standoff between the United States and China like the one between the US and USSR -- despite its potential for provoking anti-Chinese sentiment and policy.
