A nuclear watchdog group filed suit Monday to stop Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from operating a Biosafety Level 3 lab that conducts research on deadly pathogens such as anthrax, bird flu and West Nile virus.



Livermore-based Tri-Valley Communities Against a Radioactive Environments' lawsuit claims the Department of Energy began work at the lab without a full environmental impact statement that assesses the potential for a terrorist attack and without the required public comment process.
