LANL is now requiring chemical hazards training for anything that has an msds. Toilet paper has an msds. You can't even use the bathroom at LANL without training.

Things are just getting weirder and weirder at LANL. I guess it is all driven by the transformation of the lab into a large scale manufacturing plant. LANL cannot decide what it is anymore at least in this transition period from a research institute to a plant, so expect off the wall rules and statements.
There is a nice recent NYT article on this. See below. This discusses that transformation of Los Alamos into a manufacturing facility is going to be challenging due to the infrastructure issues, age of the facilities, cost and even culture.

It's a legal compliance thing. New Mexico and Federal Democrat laws like RCRA, NEPA and other NM waste laws.
Pretty soon we will also have to bottle and label all of our waste, and I do mean ALL of it, not just the TP.
Just don't forget that you can't store it in the satellite accumulation point longer than 30 days.
