POGO calling for another LANL congressional investigation

When this happened before under UC, there were years of hearings and bad press. Maybe there will be fewer this time around.

There will never be another investigation, it is done and over. The only point of bringing this up now is because some of these clowns ran out of money. It is over you played you cards got what deal you could cheat out of the system and that is it. Why go through this again? There was never a Mustang, there was never a cultural of theft, there was no cover up, there was only some sad pathetic people trying to get money for free and live off the Wen Ho Lee case that was blown out of proportion. History has spoken you lost your souls, Los Alamos lost, the American people lost, and you got 30 pieces of silver. You got what you wanted in the mortal life, it is time to pay, enter the gates....Charon awaits!

This story just got a new set of wheels when Marquez resigned. Some may even claim that he resigned so that he could not be compelled to testify before Congress as an employee of LANL. It would not be surprising to learn that he walked out with several years of salary as severance pay.

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.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
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!
