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.

Sandia has always been the "good lab" while LANL is is the problem child that needs to be beaten. Sandia has one scandal with of illegal lobbying, LANL: Wen Ho Lee, stolen mustangs, fires, disks behind copiers, culture of theft, cowboy culture, lab shut down, arrogant scientists, buttheads, meth and secrets, blowing up buildings, broken fences, WHIP, corrupt deputy directors, people who think they are better than others, more fires, stolen gold, drug testing, WHIP, blinding students with lasers, electrical fires, broken fences and it goes on and on.
I think it is clear that Sandia is not the leper child, but the good studious child that makes a mistake every once in awhile like we all do. LANL is the incorrigible delinquent, LLNL is the fat dumb kid that everyone picks on, NTS is the invisible child that never says anything. Oak Ridge is the child that has gone on the Ivy league and will soon start a job as an investment banker. DOE is the stern but fair father trying to deal with a large and diverse family. NNSA is the mentally disturbed mother on prozac.
