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...

Why protest? Do they recind contracts because of protests?

If you are the current contractor and the NNSA picks someone else to take over, then you get to keep on running the show until all the protests are over, and then 90 days after the last appeal is timed out. Not a bad proposition to keep paying all your high level managers their big salaries, even if they eventually will have to move out.

That occurred to me as well, more fee and continued high pay for people who will be sent packing eventually. Win, win, why not protest even if you have no basis for protesting and you know you will lose.
