The U.S. Department of Energy has issued a notice about a change in the boundary for the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, also called Jefferson Lab, located in Newport News, Virginia. This change impacts the facility's properties, like the Applied Research Center, covering a total of around 179 acres. Unauthorized entry and introduction of dangerous materials into the facility are prohibited under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. The facility's updated boundary details, including fencing and signage, reflect these changes as of December 3, 2024.
Simple Explanation
The government is changing the lines around a special science place called Jefferson Lab to keep it safe, so no one can go in with dangerous stuff unless they have permission.
