Apparently the reviewers were wholly incapable of looking beyond the window dressing provided to them by this drive by tour of Potemkin villages.

Some people have pointed this out.

Concerning the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), NNSA gave the contractor Triad National Security, LLC an overall rating of “Very Good.” As an example, for Goal-1: Mission Execution: Nuclear Weapons, NNSA noted that that Triad “[s]ucessfully made advances in pit production processes…” Yet under “Issues” NNSA declares that Triad, “Struggled with some production activities… Realized setbacks in development and product realization… [and] Experienced several programmatic challenges in executing the plutonium mission.”
One thing is clear Pit Production is priority at LANL now and for the foreseeable future.
Yawn. The LANL haters have been saying the same thing for 30+ years every time LANL is rated highly. They need a new schtick.
5:10 In actual fact, and in very large numbers, it has been Los Alamos’ employees, not “haters” who have been pointing out the precipitous decline in scientific output at the Labs.
They're the haters. Lots of LANL employees have "resisted" since LANS took over from UC.
