Anyone know why the bomb squad was at the lab?

I saw the bomb squad at NIF on Friday. What's up with that?

Someone brought on site a mortar and landmine, and it was not obvious they were inert.

And NIF wanted to know if they were getting them back.....lol

This is the same organization that pummels everyone else for any problem that occurs in NIF-land.

OK, I'll bite on this one. What would the reasoning be behind bringing a mortar and landmine into NIF? Has Ed Moses proposed using NIF to shoot mortars out of the air and as a land mine detector?

I am guessing that I won't be seeing this on the lab's Newsline or in the Lessons Learned.

A packaged was delivered to 482 that contained what I hear was a granade, probally just a glitch in the supply chainn and went to the wrong building. Gee people, you get all excited about nothing.

Seems to me if you don’t get excited about grenades (bombs, ordinance) being sent to an office building, then what would you get excited about. I believe that very few orders are placed for grenades, landmines, or the like at LLNL, and when these items end up anywhere except where they belong it is major breakdown of the system.

Are these things in unmarked packages being sent to occupant? It seems to me that someone or some company needs a top down review. I can only hope that none of these items ended up at B482, but if they did, you have one major problem.

Food for thought; if real explosive devices like a grenade end up in the hands of some fool that thinks it phony, pulls the pin to play a joke on his office buddies, people end up dead. Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters; families are devastated, live are lost; and it is nothing to get excited about!!!!!!

God help us if this is how LLNS is running things at the lab.

LLNL has been working on the Solid State Heat Capacity Laser for some time. It is intended to be a battlefield weapon. The lab is collaborating with entities outside, and an engineer was passed these items (presumably for evaluation), and brought them on-site.

An engineer passed the grenade for "evaluation?" What kind of engineer doesn't read the sign posted upon entering the Lab. Ignorance is no excuse for their stupidity. They should be written up for the error. He might be stupid enough to pull the pin!!!!

Were the various munitions painted blue?

No.

The blue question was related to them potentially being training aids versus the real thing.

When will we get a lessoned learned?
