This is pretty big news, and LLNL wants to keep a lid on it. You need to spread the word.

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...

People in LIFE were protected by Ed. Now more a level playing field. Play Ball and produce.
I wonder if LLNS Health Services has reviewed the number of stress cases, high blood pressure, heart attack, suicides, or other such occurrences in NIF and LIFE over LLNS baseline numbers.
With the holistic health approach, a doctor would not supply a patient with an oxygen tank and send him on his way without telling the patient to lay off the cigarettes too. In other words, the health care provider actively looks at the greater patient environment to find the optimum remedy to address the health issue, and to minimize its reoccurrence.

Conclusively proven that it never happened. But mere facts won't stop you from being a butt-head.
Easy now. Using the "second time around" model, was LANS able to locate the gas grill and picnic table for your deputy directors resignation party?
What is your next defensive argument? "It wasn't a gas grill, it was conclusively proven to be a charcoal grill".
there was plenty of fresh evidence for a continued ethics discussion. Sorry that is not what you wanted to hear. LLNS has its share of issues too.

There is no proof, it is all perception. LANL was perceived to have problems and that was that.
The mustangs stolen or not are now considered stolen. The CREM lost is or not is now lost. It does not matter if there was one cowboy or no cowboys. There perception is that there are cowboys, there always was cowboys and there will always be cowboys.
And with this you now know why LLNL has failed.

The deputy did nothing wrong and was only playing the game that they all play. In any event it all the problems at the lab are always do to the workers not the managers. A manager did not steal mustangs, a manager did not start a fire, a manager did not lose crem, a manger did not take classified work to a drug den. This all on the worforce.

What a crock. You know, as does everyone else, that none of those things ever happened. Well, JQ took classified documents home, but not to "a drug den." The rest of it is pure BS, and you know it. But you keep bringing it up because you are unable to see reality. How do you think people respond when someone persists in believing and proclaiming something that everyone knows is false? "Mental case."

Well, the proof was enough for the US Attorney and the FBI. I guess Mr. "Perception is Truth" is back. I hope you perceive yourself going somewhere far, far away. Soon. Or maybe someone else will perceive that you are gone. Good enough.
Pluto was the Roman god of the underworld equivalent to to the Greek god Hades.
Without LIFE, NIF must now become a facility of hells element.
Best of luck.
LIFE - dead
EoS - oh the humanity...
The three pillars of NIF. They still have the ignition brass ring to go for.

Another perspective is that LANL scientists realized early on that laser ICF was a crock of dreck, and bailed out as fast as they gracefully could, killing off L division on the way.

Except when it gets it wrong, twice.
Amen!
