A wildfire is raging for a third day in the hills of northern New Mexico near the nuclear laboratory where the atomic bomb was first developed.
The blaze came within a few kilometers of a dump site where around 20,000 barrels of plutonium-contaminated waste is stored at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
However, officials said that the fire is being kept at a safe distance and there is no danger of it reaching the low-level radioactive materials.

Is anybody else starting to get a little bit uncomfortable with the number of nuclear mishaps, near mishaps, etc.
It strikes me as too much all of a sudden. The whole nuclear front thing has been mostly clear for several years and now all of a sudden, all in row. Like foreshadowing....I don't like it.
