LOS ALAMOS - The cluster of sagging, wooden buildings where U.S. scientists created the world's first atomic bomb were only recently spared the ravages of time. Now almost all of them have been destroyed by fire.

http://homepost.kpbs.org/tag/manhattan-project/Los Alamos National Laboratory is one of only two labs in the United States charged with designing nuclear weapons – the other being Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Northern California. Los Alamos is probably best known as the site where the Manhattan Project was born, and where scientists created the two bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII.
Are they burning the evidence? Wouldn't a nuclear bomb be easier?
