This guy looks like a real loser, a mediocre scientist who never amounted to anything, and was mad that he was not treated like a golden boy that his parents told him he was since he was (and still is) a sniveling red-faced spoiled brat.

Security problems caused by aging nuclear scientists who suffer the ravages of dementia along with the associated problems of reduced financial support as the dementia worsen is an issue that has never been successfully solved.

This guy was probably not in his right mind and he doesn't seem to have aged very well. When you combine dementia along with deep bitterness, you have a very poisonous cocktail.

He was in trouble more than 15 years ago.

Give this guy a break Livermore. He was obsessed with fusion just like the rest of you nerds "at Livermore" working on NIF. Who's to say his ideas are any more or less asinine than the NIF concept?

NIF guys don't threaten to sell nuclear weapons technology to Venezuela, nor do they threaten to blow up NYC.

He wasn't "threatening" he was just trying, very incompetently, to try to sell something he really never had, to people who never really paid him any attention. A failed fusion scientist trying to sell bomb knowledge he never even had access to.

Obviously, those who knew his ideas and knew they were nuts. Duh.

Yet his wife, sentenced before him, was an excellent editor/compositor in the publications organization at LANL.

you forgot to add "criminal" and "traitor" to the description of her tenure while at LANL.

Okay okay. "failure" is the wrong term. "mediocre" is being a bit more generous though.

Oh you all should just stop insulting the wacky theoretical physicist. Go read some LANL POGO Blogs or maybe a little off the FAS. Or maybe think about this...what to do when you get ousted by management after YOUR project actually underwent Peer review and was approved while the other one that got all the money was simply a coffer for politicians and management...

Or...go read Sun in a Bottle...Should be called "Backstabbers on Ignition"...or something...fusion physicists are a mean bunch...

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.

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
