Back in December, Los Alamos National Laboratory Director Charlie McMillan announced the formation of a task force that would make financial decisions that would account for $300 million in savings at the lab because of budget constraints.

Everybody found out Tuesday how that would happen.

Los Alamos National Laboratory Director Charlie McMillan said the lab has submitted a plan to the National Nuclear Security Administration proposing to reduce its workforce by between 400 and 800 employees this spring through a voluntary separation program.

McMillan made the announcement at an all-hands meeting at the lab Tuesday afternoon.
