I couldn't think of a better analogy to describe how LLNS is managing LLNL.
Anyone have a better comparison ?

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...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is laying off hundreds of workers.
The lab will give pink slips tomorrow to 330 career employees, and another 110 on Friday.
More than a third of those being laid off are scientists and engineers at the lab, which conducts nuclear weapons research and other national security and scientific work.
Lab spokeswoman Susan Houghton says Lawrence Livermore is working as hard as possible to place the laid-off workers in new jobs. The lab has identified more than 1,000 possible private-sector jobs that the laid-off workers might apply for.
The lab's work force was about 8,000 just two and a half years ago, but has been reduced by some 1,800 through attrition, retirements and layoff.
