Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Pray tell, what do you envision as a "sweet surprise"? Fine crystal urine sample cups, gold plated polygraph leads?
At least the future isn't so bright that I need to buy shades. Money saved there.
I'll take that any day over being unemployed. Those minor monitoring processes don't bother me a bit.
Agreed. This economy is sinking fast. This is not the time for the government to be downsizing.
What would be nice is that any and all members of congress (and their staff) that are able to hear classifed breifings that in any way shape or form have passed though the DOE labs be subject to drug and polygraph testing themselves. If it's good enough for us, it should be good enough for them. I know - dream on.
Nah, what would be nice is to make them all take drug test and then take their pensions away and put them on a 401K telling them, opps, I know we made a promise but due to economic self centered goals we are taking your pension and benefits away and you can only save $20,500 a year for as long as we need your skill set and you are seen as a asset to the goals of the nation. Good luck and have a nice day. Oh and by the way. Social security may not be there neither when you need it. We're to busy letting in mob of illegal aliens from all ports of entry that need your tax dollars so we can hire them at a much lower rate of pay to take your jobs.
But please keep sending in those tax dollars so we can fight a war for oil, when in fact we could be spending $11B a month on becoming totally energy independent and divorce ourselves from the Arab world.
Yes we as a people of the USA are idiots for allowing this country to be run by bonehead congressman and senators who haven't a friggin clue and are there solely to assure big business like bechtel remains and empire. Maybe it's time to cut off the snakes head.
In about a year or two from now, you'll finally realize that the old LLNL you once knew is completely gone. Some workers will realize this faster than others.
From this point forward, everything you do at LLNL is only for the benefit of your new corporate masters. If you perform well, they will get a bigger profit fee to rip out of your operating budget and send out to the corporate partners. You, on the other hand, will get nothing.
