LLNL in 30-60 months 

In 30-60 months will LLNL have growing programs, static programs, or a shrinking mission with an opportunistic self-deport and increasingly leery workforce?

Take what has happened in the last 30-60 months and then project forward. That's where things will go unless there is a significant change in the trajectory, but I don't see any drivers for such a change.

30-60 Month *Prediction: Employee morale will further erode, while LLNS management receives 10s of millions in bonuses. As TCP1 folks retire, they will be replaced with employees with sub 2007 TCP2 benefits, who will hang around long enough for a paragraph or two on their resume before bailing out with their portable 401k in tow.

*Assuming DOE/NNSA fail to materially follow through on their new science and engineering focused contractor model and discard the failed "for profit" model.

I do not think you have to worry about 30 - 60 months 2015.75 is around the corner. Note what the Swiss just did. The MadMax event is getting closer. Remember what is about to play out in the world is what has been happening from the begining of man nothing is new under the sun. The chickens are about to come home and we have a front row seat.

That's what you said a couple of years ago. "Nothing is new under the sun" indeed, certainly not your blather.

Calm down. Every situation is different, and the NNSA labs move at a snails pace. e.g. It's taken about 20 years for LLNL to go from productive weapons lab, to gender coddling house of fluff.

We've have another 20 years to go to complete annihilation.

Yeah, that makes sense. Not.

from positron-electron annihilation you get two beautiful .511 kev rays.
What two beautiful things will you get when LLNL annihilates with reality?

I know some old timers that are double dipping at LLNL. They're doing just fine. Won't let me do it, I guess I pissed off a few females who then threatened upper management. Lesson - males are always screwed when females are allowed by the organization to make false allegations. Anyway, as long as WCI can scare congress that the warheads are falling apart, LLNL should be OK for the foreseeable future, it think.

What you talking about? Women and men are held to the same behavioral standards at LLNL.

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.

tcp1 looking good

By scooby
I just received my annual TCP-1 letter from LLNS and a summary of the LLNS Pension Plan. Looked in pretty good shape in 2013. About 35% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 134.92%). This was a decrease from 2012 where it was 51% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 151.59%). They did note that the 2012 change in the law on how liabilities are calculated using interest rates improved the plan's position. Without the change the funding target attainment percentages would have been 118% (2012) and 105% (2013). 2013 assets = $2,057,866,902 2013 liabilities = $1,525,162,784 vs 2012 assets = $1,844,924,947 2012 liabilities = $1,217,043,150 It was also noted that a slightly different calculation method ("fair market value") designed to show a clearer picture of the plan' status as December 31, 2013 had; Assets = $2,403,098,433 Liabilities = $2,068,984,256 Funding ratio = 116.15% Its a closed plan with 3,781 participants. Of that number, 3,151 wer...
