You should trust ULM, they are looking out for you."<BR/><BR/>Well, they weren't looking out for us and things did not come out fine.<BR/><BR/>Given the budget, the new administration's attitude, the plans published by DoE for the weapon's complex I see no reason to disbelieve rumors of further cuts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-56490259326217957452009-01-30T01:01:00.000-08:002009-01-30T01:01:00.000-08:00So when April 2009 comes around and there are no h...So when April 2009 comes around and there are no hints of any layoffs, will you come on here and admit you were misled?

That plan has plenty of holes, but as stated it leaves far from 'menial tasks' at LLNL. If you actually follow the link back to the NNSA site, there are the actual site plans downloadable as PDFs. From the introduction to the LLNL plan:<BR/><BR/>"In NNSA’s preferred alternative for Complex Transformation, LLNL serves as a Center of Excellence for nuclear design and engineering. Further, the plan identifies LLNL as a Center of Excellence for supercomputing, high-explosive research and development, and high-energy-density physics."<BR/><BR/>Everyone is entitled to whatever skepticism this evokes. But it is not like the quoted Global Security Newswire is dealing from some great font of inside knowledge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-15832895926525207062009-01-26T09:30:00.000-08:002009-01-26T09:30:00.000-08:00Well, now we know, don't we?Well, now we know, don't we?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-70367700565383856142009-01-25T22:07:00.000-08:002009-01-25T22:07:00.000-08:00When the nuclear work goes there will be no strong...When the nuclear work goes there will be no strong reason to keep LLNL open.

We surely don't need 7,000+ to do these menial task. April of 2009 may be the first of the 3,500 to go, as I have read both on the LLNL and LANL blog. God Speed to all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
