Over 2 months have passed since the LANS LANSCE accident occurred.
Where is the "lessons learned" report to help prevent a repeat of this tragedy?

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...

With a priority of "life and limb" protection of LANS employees and other employees within the DOE Complex, you are absolutely correct.
The priority is to CMA, cover management a*. That is all the matters.
These common standard operating procedures, apply and maintain due process, comply with legal and professional requirements and personnel HIPAA and work practice protections. It can be cumbersome and expensive, is part of he contract assuranes requirement, but may even be part of federal or civil procedures.
Yet we are impatient creatures, empowered by our anonymity.
THe punchline to a very old juvenile joke goes, "....patience, jackass".
You have raised valid procedural investigation steps that do take a reasonable amount of time to complete. In the interim, we can only hope
DOE and LANS have correctly and selflessly determined the LANSCE accident, within the flurry of accidents at LANL, does not require prompt preliminary protective measures against a comparable event at LANL or elsewhere in the Complex. To error on the side of human safety, preliminary findings and safety precautions subject to subsequent revision, might be the prudent path, unless you are arguing this is not an option on the managerial decision tree.
LANS has a poor record of being either informative or reassuring to the public and or their employees.
Why should they? It's none of your business.
Just do your job and keep your head down low.
