Savannah River asks employees to retire --------------------------------------------------------------- The downsizing continues across DOE. As the budgets follow downward projections and the FTE costs continue trending upward, the crossing point is being reached site by site across the entire NWC. ------------------------------------------------------------- http://chronicle.augusta.com/news/business/local-business/2012-08-31/savannah-river-site-contractor-asks-more-voluntary-layoffs?v=1346445892

Visit to shoe store........
I was shopping for a pair of steel toe work boots at a local shoe store and the clerk asked if i worked @ S R S ? I replied no ,why do you ask ? She told me a couple Savannah River Nuclear Solutions employees were in earlier and joking about the next round of lay offs. She asked if they were worried and they replied ...worried about what ? They went on to explain that both would receive over 2500.00 dollars each a month pension with health insurance. She said she asked what they did at Savannah River Nuclear Solutions and they replied...We read about 8 newspapers daily and joked they had done no physical work in 25 years. I could tell she was upset and aggravated as she brought me boots to try on. I later thanked her for her assistance and paid for my boots and she smiled as if to acknowledge that she and i were in the same boat.......working and thankful for what we have.These two men and others like them boasting and gloating about gorging themselves at the government trough give employees that actually work for the government a bad rap. Happy Labor Day to all and thumbs up if you love the U.S.A.

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.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
