Have you taken IS0012-W and seen the new work control program? This is another step towards stopping all work except bureaucratic paperwork. What group of idiots sold this?

I took both courses in about 30 minutes. You can pretty much skip to end of the sections and take the test.

My eyes glazed over after the first minute. There is just too much stuff to remember. I can't imagine how anyone can keep all of this stuff straight.

Why do you need to even ask this question? Big money is being made by managing the NNSA "research" labs for a healthy profit.

Training at the Lab is a formality; do you really learn anything? It is the CYA training!

Does anyone else feel that they keep reinventing the wheel around here?

The sad thing is that senior management really believes the new work control program is an improvement and "the future of the Lab."

Just another reason why I am collecting a few more paychecks, then retiring.

I am proud of the contributions I made to the Lab over the years, but now it doesn't matter any more. The Cold War is over, and so is the mission of the Lab.

The Bechtel Managers in LLNS think the Lab is an undisciplined mess. They have not clue about running a research institution founded by a university. They really do not like or understand how researchers and scientists think or do their work. They are just beginning to realize that LLNL is not a production facility or site with nuclear reactors.

Isn't it ironic that LTRAIN and all this formal training nonsense came into being after the Lab had stopped underground testing and new weapons development. I don't know how we were able to do all we did without LTRAIN--and ISMS, ISSM, and all the other useless waste of taxpayer money.

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!
