Good job. This will really piss off Domenici.

Finally, something LLNL deserves that LANL can't screw up.

Livermorons in their element.

I'll bet their is a move afoot in jealous DOE to rename it to D'Agostinium. Oops, that aleady is a synonym for an element not fit to the task.

The Nobel prize in chemistry goes to the person who discovers and produces unobtainium.

The next element will be entitled Lostalamosium and will be coined after LANS strangles the once great institution named Los Alamos National Laboratory to death.

Wow! You guys are good!

All I had was bureaucratium and administratium! I like yours better!

Lostalamosium will be placed in front of hydrogen on the periodic chart because has 0 neutrons, 0 protons, and 0 electrons. First element that is massless; it does not exist. LANS/LANL will be awarded it's first Nobel prize in physics for this discovery and will spend billions on overhead and a few bucks on science trying to prove it's existence. Take that Livermore!

J. K. Rowling named the next element that will be discovered at LLNL, "confundus"

re: a element that confounds all nearby.
Widely dispersed at LLNL with the arrival of LLNS.

In late breaking news, Bechtel International has announced the naming of a new element on their behalf and for building new layers upon layers of management at LANS/LLNS. That new element is Bechtelenium. Unfortunately, Livermorium will have to wait another day.....

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.

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
