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...

NNSA is nothing more than the same retards we had in DOE, with new office symbols and letterhead, and an additional layer of unneeded management.
There are ~100 NNSA bureaucrats in LSO with nothing to do but make us cost more.
..and take lucrative jobs with the for-profit LLCs they once managed for NNSA. Follow the money over the next few years. Some of these NNSA bureaucrats are going to make out very well, indeed!
I have no doubt that some high-level Wash DC bureaucrats will find lucrative jobs at the Labs they supposedly now manage. However, the LSO tribe is probably not in this group. With the exception of a few lower-level folks, these people are truly worthless. Most would not even qualify to flip burgers, let alone be SESs or GM-15s.
Amen. Let's hear it for diversity.
