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...

It means several non manager was fired, and a number of of LANS managers where given large bonuses. History will repeat itself and at some point the whole things falls apart. We good?
"radioactive leak at a Nevada site run by the Los Alamos lab." WIPP is in Carlsbad, NM, not Nevada, FYI.

Excuse me Beth but Nevada happens to be a real state, New Mexico is not acknowledge as a state by most Americans. When you say New Mexico they say "Mexico" so it is non starter. No one cares about radioactive leaks in Mexico, so you have to name a US state that people know about and realize is part of the United States and hence is relevant to the United States. Everyone knows about Las Vegas and why it is relevant, therefore Nevada meets the criteria as a valid state within the United States, New Mexico ... not so much. Sorry but this is just realty, try it next time you go to the post office and want to mail something to New Mexico. There is the United States and than there is New Mexico, well maybe Mississippi as well, but you get my point. There is a very good reason WIPP is in New Mexico, as well as LANL, Sandia, UFOs, White Sands missile range, and crystal blue. New Mexico, is very special, New Mexico is very different, the rules do not apply to New Mexico and never can or ever will. New Mexico can never admit it is wrong because it has no ability to tell what right or wrong in the first place, all it knows is that it is very special and it is a State. The only sane thing to do is make it territory again and keep it from voting but that will not happen, only because no even knows New Mexico exists...strange is it not? So WIPP, Sandia, LANL and UFOs will continue to exists from here on out and thrive. Just for your FYI.
