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...

I hope DOE does not pick up the bill and tell Recthal they have to take it out of their operating fund, year after year after year until all these people are paid with simple compound interest on their awards.

In the end, the lawyers win, everyone else loses.
I saw good people go and I saw deadwood getting pruned as well.
UPTE will if given the chance suck the Lab dry with any pretense that is available and convenient at the time.
Remember these high school drop outs will use any tactic to hurt the Laboratory.
A half truth will work very well for the these punks.
Let's not give any traction to these uneducated, lazy thugs. It will turn out bad in the end....just think about the BART union train drivers making over 100k a year and need a little more and are going on strike again.
It's a disgrace!
I'd like to see each one get $1M after taxes out of the operating fund of LLNS, not the American tax payers pocket but Rechtal's.

Slander is not telling the truth or giving an account of one's experience. People have a right to their own feelings.
Should less people equal less managers?
It's time to start culling the highly paid managers from the NNSA labs. Unfortunately, it will probably never happen.
"There is no such thing as dead wood. LLNL needs to change its culture of hate."
I really do not think that it is hate. It is a question of what is the best for our nation and the progress for LLNL. LLNL is in trouble. LANL is in trouble. These are facts. It is not a judgement, just what is. Our funding is down and our overhead is up. This is not sustainable. That is it.
So, how do we fix it. Here are my suggestion off the top of my head and I am looking for constructive criticism.
I think that the national laboratory is a no sum game: funding is not going up.
Perhaps Parney's rational is that the more top people can help him get more money. However, I believe this is the wrong move because the people who he is choosing are really old school and we need new innovative thinking to solve this problem.
The laboratory leadership need to change.
I can't think of anyone who was brought in (high level) that brought in significant funding. If I'm wrong, keep that person(s) & get rid of those that failed.
