No, the accident that triggered a major surge in safety inspections and regulation occurred at another
national lab around 1990 when a graduate student was blinded by a laser on her(?) first day on the

safety inspections, training, etc. Subsequently, safety inspections took place at all of the national labs
and many things were found and subsequently fixed, but it didn't stop there. People have simply gone
crazy over the years pointing at things in labs and saying they are unsafe to the point that no one can
do anythng.


I left UCSC the year before, so I don't know if the virus infected UC -- tho UC manages EOLBNL.

bc hadn't heard anything.
