Has the LANL Blog shut down? (LANL: The Rest of The Story)
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...

Face it, a dysfunctional NNSA and their "for-profit" corporate suits who manage the labs have won. It's not worth fighting a losing battle any longer. No one is listening or cares to hear about the dismal morale and the major problems that are emerging at the NNSA science labs.
Get with the program that both LLNS and NNSA have laid out for the future of the weapons research labs or leave. Those are your choices - whether you like them or not is totally irrelevant. Think it over and then choose wisely. No one is coming to save either LANL or LLNL from their decent.

I did not read the top-level post.
Imo,the negative impact on our national labs is much more serious than the impact to PX or Y-12 for example but, opening the NWC issues to a wider audience can benefit all.
I usually don't change posts, but I will sometimes hold off posting it until everyone can "cool off" a bit first. I can't recall more than half a dozen posts that never made it and of those were some advertisement that was attempted to be post.
Then there is finding content and trying to make it pretty.
It isn't hard to maintain a blog. It just isn't true.

8. Is Frank Young dead?
He never responded to this provocative question.
After that I realized he was severely sick. (Did he die of H1N1, influenza, pneumonia, stroke, or a heart attack?)
My condolences to his wife, and parents.
Frank Young (1963? - January 23, 2010), RIP.
Because of this, it looks like the LANL Blog will soon be completely shut down for good.
Frank's involvement on the blog was fueled by his search of being contaminated while working at the lab. He never found his answer, and now he never will.
We've lost a porthole that looked into the sinking ship that was once proudly known as LANL.

Don't worry, the official "porthole" of news from LANS, LLNS, Bechtel and NNSA is still open for business and pumping out the facts.
Get your news from reliable sources. The NNSA labs are doing better than ever thanks to the fantastic leadership of NNSA and the new LLC teams. We are so lucky. Onward and upward, ho!
They're guppies in every crowd. Read on.
