Gregory H. Friedman, the inspector general, said officials at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have lost nine master keys and three magnetic key cards to the facility -- and, in some cases, do not know why or how long they have been missing.

The lab will need to replace about 100,000 locks in 526 buildings, according to the inspector general's report. That will cost taxpayers about $1.7 million -- although Friedman noted that some government officials dispute those figures.

Schwoegler said the lost keys presented only "minimal increased risk to classified information," thanks to redundant security systems, and that there is no evidence security has been breached.
