The scope and scale of the problem continue to grow. With this the cost to fix the problem continues to escalate, as does the time to address the growing list of concerns.

Looks like it's time to give ol' Charlie "GQ" McMillan a big executive raise for a job well done.

Would worry less about if Charlie is going to top 2M in total compensation, and worry a lot more about if the contract will be extended. Given the numerous public events of the past year, this could be the first glimpse into how Klotz will perform in his new job at NNSA. It is hard to see a way for him to extend the contract after LANL caused WIPP to be closed for the foreseeable future.

Wallace and Team Chavez, 6,000 experiments and counting, trying reproduce the WIPP drum that farted.

The important science of "drum farts"... come join us at the NNSA national labs!

You, too, can join in on this new, exciting scientific endeavor!

"Team Chavez"...almost an oxymoron.

I wonder if there's any relationship between drum farts and chili cookoffs?

If you have to perform 6,000 failed experiments to prove a hypothesis, perhaps you need to reevaluate the hypothesis?

Drum farts will cost more. Much, much more.

Did Chavez sleep through class when the scientific method was discussed?

Can't put this on Chavez. It is fully on Wallace, and the more that comes out the more it stinks.

20,000 experiments to reproduce the WIPP drum that farted and counting. McMillan has lost control of Wallace and Team Chavez.

The proposed Chavez theory for the WIPP drum that farted looks like a map of all the highways in the U.S. The path (i.e. chemistry) the drum took looks like the backroads from L.A. to New York City.

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!
