Where is the Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) report 
regarding the proposed change in radiative waste packaging materials for the LANS drums? Where is the design reviewed and approved procedure to mitigate this "off-normal" drum leak scenario?

If barrels popped open in the cool cool underground of WIPP imagine what is going to happen soon to those that are sitting in the sun in Los Alamos or in Texas.

Basically LANL has just moved that mess from one place to another without any cleanup!

Please explain what you mean by "cleanup"?? Do you have any idea what you are talking about?

If all you do is take an environmental mess, put it in drums and drive them a few hundred miles and then they pop open somewhere else, well that is not exactly a clean up is it. It's just moving the mess from one location to another, in my book. It's still an environmental mess, just in a new location. You have to admit that the cleanup hasn't happened yet, but the bonuses have.

As far as I know, "cleanup" in the environmental sense is generally acknowledged to mean removing a contaminant from somewhere it is not supposed to be to somewhere else where it can cause no further damage or harm. You still haven't explained what "cleanup" entails in your mind.

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!
