DOE asked bidders for the NNSS contract to extend their bids until 30 June 2017. Are they applying lessons learned form the Sandia transition?
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...

Lockheed will be staying in the complex as they will be getting Los Alamos. Not sure about NNSS or if it can be tied to Los Alamos.

What a putz. You have no clue what you are talking about.

Sure, but how is it that every predictably bad thing seems to come true?
Just why do you believe Lockheed wants to be in the complex?

7:58 brings up a good point, in order for Lockheed to have other perks with the government it may have to run LANL. There is is really no downside you get some money and when there is a screwup you can blame scientists, it is a win win. Anyway with Lockheed out of NNSS it is now almost for certain they must get LANL. NNSA wants them in the complex. Lockheed is in really good shape now, they can completely call the shots on what they want order to run LANL.
