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.

LANL leadership rates low in first-year evaluation
By ROGER SNODGRASS, Monitor Editor
Editors note:
On Jan. 17, 2008, the Monitor filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the FY 2007 Performance Evaluation Report of Los Alamos National Security, LLC, Management and Operation of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The National Nuclear Security Administration and Los Alamos National Laboratory declined to make public the key document for assessing the first year of a new contract. After the formal request, the document was made available and forms the basis for the following story.
I'd start with getting the piss-off-sheet which list everyone salary and then find out who LLNS laid off and who they hired to take their places. The numbers that HR are advertising don't jive with what we are being told. It looks as if they are paying off people and hiring them right back at cheaper wages or maybe hiring their own people.
Rock the boat, call a general strike, get some attention. The worst that can happen is you get fired. And if you're going to be fired anyway why not go out in a blaze of glory that might actually help others?
