Needs far more useless paperwork, moronic management oversight, meaningless signatures, drug tests, lie detector tests, psych evals, and all hands meetings.

DOE/NNSA...both created & perpetuated by Congress - a group more destructive than any nuclear weapon.

Hardly! This was the DOE cowboy 12 years ago! To see him now lift the 8 inch stack of safety documentation (Work Permits, Integrated Worksheets, USQs, Tip lists....etc) and hold a couple of "Tail Gate/ Prestart meetings....then you can begin to make him out in the distance!

Where's the cowboy shoes that grip, hundreds of training classes, thousands of pages of instructions manuals and procedures, the Documented Safety Analysis (DSA), Integrated Safety and Security Management (ISSM), 100 NNSA/DOE auditors monitoring every step the horse takes, and asking the cowboy if he followed the Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs) and procedures? Oppss, TSR Violation, shutdown the horse and cowboy!

If this was a LANL cowboy, Knapp would be checking the cowboy to see if he's using an inordinate amount of toilet paper and making sure he wiped according to ISSM procedures and had a work permit.

NNSA and DOE are very sick organizations. It would be best if they were simply put out of their misery. They've done nothing to increase our energy security and are destroying what's left of our nuclear weapons establishment with their crazy, 'EPA-on-steroids' type micro-management.

Thank goodness we didn't have to face the Soviet Union with these crazy bureaucrats stomping on the backs of our patriotic nuclear weapon scientists!

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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.

tcp1 looking good

I just received my annual TCP-1 letter from LLNS and a summary of the LLNS Pension Plan. Looked in pretty good shape in 2013. About 35% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 134.92%). This was a decrease from 2012 where it was 51% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 151.59%). They did note that the 2012 change in the law on how liabilities are calculated using interest rates improved the plan's position. Without the change the funding target attainment percentages would have been 118% (2012) and 105% (2013). 2013 assets = $2,057,866,902 2013 liabilities = $1,525,162,784 vs 2012 assets = $1,844,924,947 2012 liabilities = $1,217,043,150 It was also noted that a slightly different calculation method ("fair market value") designed to show a clearer picture of the plan' status as December 31, 2013 had; Assets = $2,403,098,433 Liabilities = $2,068,984,256 Funding ratio = 116.15% Its a closed plan with 3,781 participants. Of that number, 3,151 wer...
