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...

In the absence of "the other side of the story" they make a pretty strong case.

perceive Russia as a potential adversary,...
Wonder why that would be.

"A long-time employee at Los Alamos National Laboratory was fired after portions of an article he wrote for a British nonprofit journal were later determined to be classified material, even after national security officials had reviewed the article and deemed it unclassified, according to a news report published Thursday by the Center for Public Integrity.
James E. Doyle, 55, a nuclear safeguards and security specialist at LANL’s nonproliferation division, wrote an article titled “Why Eliminate Nuclear Weapons?” that was a critique of nuclear proliferation policies since the Cold War."

Sounds like a revenge firing to me. It had been reviewed and deemed unclassified. What's the larger story here? Who on the LANS executive management team did Doyle tick-off to get himself fired in this manner?
This is in stark contrast to the horrible LBGT complaints about Sandia on this website and on glassdoor.com:
