Peace advocates are planning peace vigils in Los Alamos to mark the 70th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The activists are scheduled to hold the peace vigils at Ashley Pond on Thursday and Sunday.
Thursday is the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, and Sunday is the anniversary of the Nagasaki bombing.
Activists also plan to hold nonviolent workshops this week in Santa Fe.
During the World War II-era Manhattan Project, scientists at the then-secret city of Los Alamos worked to develop the weapon dropped on the Japanese cities.
The project involved three research and production facilities at Los Alamos; Oak Ridge, Tennessee; and Hanford, Washington.
