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.

Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem

From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were. Count the number that LLNLs mangers use.  touch base circle back bandwidth - impactful - utilize - table the discussion deep dive - engagement - viral value-add - one-sheet deliverable - work product - incentivise - take it to the ...
