The Director announces a bonus for the entire LLNL staff. Not gonna alter anyone's lifestyle, but it's a bit of tangible appreciation.

A bonus for not having sent an exploding drum to WIPP. Well deserved Livermore, well deserved.

Good to see that at least one NNSA lab likes to share the wealth with all their employees.

Nothing like a wonderful Cat 3 Laboratory at Cat 1 pay.

LLNL management clearly knows how to run a national lab. Can't say the same for LANL which is simply unmanageable. The bad entitlement welfare-grubbing behavior seen at the "first" weapons lab... no wonder why things are so bad there. You can replace the top level management as well as the entire LANS board, and it is still a screwed up place.

You've apparently forgotten that most of LANL management IS LLNL management.

Kudos do those who received a bonus a raise and still remain employed.

how much was the bonus?

this bonus was given for the employees contribution to the successful year at the Lab. but if you notice those with a CBA were excluded are they not a contributing part of the performance of this LAB?

My Spouse gets good bonuses working for the Federal Gov't. They give bonus money rather than salary increases (thank you Obama you moron). Anyway I spend it on car parts !

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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

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!
