Yup, enough rain water is to be captured off the roof of the central cafe to water all those lush plants EM loves to look at. Buuuut, just in case it isnt enough they are tapping into our water supply from Hetch Heychy to keep the tanks full to make it look good!!

Can a few more FTE's and use the money for the water. Problem solved.

I guess the water is going to be trapped by the theater they are building also.

At least the best project at LLNL will look good. My concern is how much does a single shot at NIF will cost and how much will it take to mainatin the facility of all its needs.

Behind NIF is a trailer with a sign that says "Facilities construction management" or something like that.
There is nothing being constructed.
So, what is that for?

Seems Dr. EM didn't like looking at those unsightly athletic activities near the cafeteria and wanted landscaping and an amphitheater to hide it. When that was turned down for funding, it was retooled into a water reclamation pilot of questionable pedigree (that just happen to include landscaping and an amphitheater!). Suddenly, funding assured.

The NIF bubble will last a few years and then burst. Enjoy it know.

Before you know it, the Superblock will be almost empty, the weapons program will be in LANL, and NIF will have gone the way of NOVA and other lasers.

At least the Lab is polluted. Job security if you're into environmental restoration.

Someone should ask the IG to investigate this. I would, but I can't risk losing my job now that my wife has lost hers.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
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...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
