"Oppenheimer had no qualms about displacing people from their homelands," said Gomez, who wrote "Nuclear Nuevo Mexico" about the setting up of the lab.
Today Los Alamos County, where the lab is based, is one of the richest and best-educated in the United States.
"There's no economic development in our areas because it's all focused in Los Alamos," said Cristian Madrid-Estrada, director of the regional homeless shelter in Espanola, Rio Arriba's largest town.
The lab said over 61% of employees hired since 2018 were from New Mexico, with most of its workforce living outside Los Alamos County.
