Last week, Newsline announced that DOE will be outlining its strategies.
Does anyone know what they were? in summary?
Thank you!

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...

Brilliant!

Your post shows how ignorant you are about the subjects you chose to address. Please do some research before you make an even greater fool of yourself. The surveillance program doesn't "destroy" weapons. If you knew anything about what components are tested and how, you would know that. Some weapon systems are scheduled to be replaced or upgraded, which has nothing to do with the surveillance program. Your simple-minded analysis is devoid of facts. You should be ashamed of your lack of rigorous intent and intellectual honesty.
Yeah! And, all those parts sitting in the PX warehouses to support these rebuilds should be destroyed & PX closed like Gitmo. :)
radiological or conventional, and to respond to technical and geopolitical surprise." Page 3
"These missions ensure vitality in our ST&E base and retention of critical infrastructure and skills."
"Technical challenges and scientific discovery embedded in nuclear deterrence and global nuclear threat reduction missions require that the Enterprise attract and retain the best and brightest scientists, engineers, and technicians." page 13
What an absolute joke these statement are. The reality is in spite of the NNSA mission to retain nuclear weapon expertise Brett Knapp has personally crippled the LANL weapon program by "chopping" weapon infrastructure and expertise (i.e. people). What is even more disgusting is that Anastasio and MacMillan have supported him on this agenda so that ALL could get their pockets lined with fresh new $100 dollar bills, get vested in 5-years, and flee the coop. That's the reality!
Pointing toward improving PNNL.

who looks a lot like Mel Brooks wearing a rubber band.
The House recently voted in favor of Obama's increased funding for the NNSA but then told the weapons complex that they would have to get this extra money by taking it out of the hide of the existing non-weapons DOE programs!
It is too bad the hacks at NNSA tasked with information control, this one in particular, do not bother to do their homework = lazy. A simple Google search uncovers the unclassified Sandia report, SAND-95-2751 "Stockpile Surveillence" which says on Page 6 : "... in general the nuclear explosive package from one sample per year per weapon type is destructively examined for dimension and material composition changes. This sample is retired form the stockpile." Obviuously, the original poster (May 19, 2011 8:06 PM) has got it exactly right: destruction + production = perpetual program.
