SNM detonated? Ok....

Report lost a lot of credibility at that point.

The rotary gun threat to offsite is also overblown. Any firearm bigger than .22 is going to have a range over a mile. What's less good about the miniguns are the amount of ammo they chew up. Not good for a sustained firefight. They are a bigger threat to on-site employees than anyone in town.

But hey, we all know how much DOE cares about it's employees health and safety. What's a little collateral damage among the peasants anyway?

Moderator - I wanted this to be a new topic and not a comment - can it be? Thanks

===============
At the following website:

https://pppm-int.llnl.gov/k_separations.htm#k_III_1


The document contains:

================================================================
III Layoff (to be rewritten by April 2008)
III.1 Layoff for 200-Series Employees



III.1.4 Notice of Layoff to Employees
In the event of a layoff, Human Resources shall prepare written notification to be given to the employee. The minimum notice period will be based on the employee's seniority as follows:

An employee with fewer than ten years of seniority shall receive thirty (30) calendar days' notice.
An employee with at least ten but fewer than fifteen years of seniority shall receive sixty (60) calendar days' notice.
An employee with at least fifteen but fewer than twenty years of seniority shall receive ninety (90) calendar days' notice.
An employee with twenty years or more of seniority shall receive one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days' notice.

The employee will receive pay in lieu of notice for each additional day he/she would have been on pay status if the required notice has been given.

================================================================
NOTE: Apparently this policy pertains only to the 200 series workers
NOTE: Apparently policy is to be rewritten by April 2008

Does anyone know?
Is "pay in lieu of notice" independent of severance pay - could a 30 year employee collect 6 months + 4 months if layed off?
Why only the 200 series?
Is there an underlying legal requirement for this?
Could the LLNS simply void this policy in April 2008 prior to layoffs?

Gatling guns should be disassembled and transferred to a more appropriate NNSA site.

Sorry POGO this stays in case we need it against intruders. We'll just use hollow points instead of AP or API.

As far as the Pu being out of Livermore by 2009 as stated somewhere in your list of desires. I agree with that.
