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...

Therefore, employee' s fate will essentially depends on the like or dislike of individual supervisor/manager. If they don't like you, they will trump up all the unfavorable comments/charges against you. It will become the basis to lay you off for lak of funds or lack of skills. It is very unsettled for those who remain at the Lab.
The fact is that Parney does not plan to have any lay off does not matter, because individual directorate can do it based on the revised lay off policy.
