And looks what else I found, when searching on NEST:
"In recent testimony before the Senate intelligence and energy committees, Los Alamos officials said the two missing computer drives were part of a "tool kit" for a response team known as NEST - Nuclear Emergency Search Team. They had last been confirmed in a top-secret vault April 7.
On May 7, NEST team members went into the vault to protect the kit from a fire raging near the laboratory. But the two drives, which contained information on dismantling or disabling U.S. and even some Russian nuclear weapons, were not in their metal container. The next day, the laboratory was evacuated.

I believe I read somewhere that these drives showed up later in the lab behind a water cooler. There was some speculation that employees of the lab were concerned about the security due to the traitor who was in the White House. I remember when the fires were getting close to the lab I said to someone, "Oh watch, now all our secrets will probably burn up and only china will have the data because the stolen data is in china thanks to Klintoon and cronies." So I think the lab people had the same thought too and took those discs to a safe location and then placed them behind the water cooler after the fire was out.
