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!

Maybe we should make a new agency to provide some real oversight and accountability.
The ANSAC, agency of nuclear security and compliance? It could be time to accept the reality that the United States no longer has the capabilities, infrastructure, or human resources that are needed to be ensure the arsenal. One possibility is for complete privatization, we just hand it over to a private company and let the free market enforce the rules. I bet there would be no more WIPs, stolen mustangs, NIFS, lost disks, and if anything like that happened some heads would role. We would save the taxpayers a load of money as well. Tell me where I am wrong?
Waste issues at AWE...

How can one be wrong about WIPP? The disks where missing, the media keeps saying that a Mustang was stolen. In the end it is all perception and private corporations can control perception much better than government run organizations. You need to get this through your heads, it is all perception.

So if anyone "perceives" something, that person's perception is always the truth? Or maybe "truth" is a meaningless concept to you? What planet did you say you are from? Because I want to make sure I never land there by mistake.

The reports can't be forgotten when they are never read. The long list of reports on the Labs have made for great fire starter in the winter.

The reports cannot be read, too much money at stake.
These reports mean nothing to the real power brokers in the United States. If they did, the serious problems they document would have been fixed decades ago.
