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...

Let's see "how high of a standard" Klotz holds his friend McMillan on this incident! Does Klotz have fortitude?
The crack pipe is strong with that one.
What kind of wacked out delusion is going on in your head today? How is this connected to cowboys, Wen Ho Lee or anything. It is simply another LANS screwup. All you have to do is count the number of screwups after the contract change compared to before it is very clear that it has nothing to do with the workforce or UC. It has to do with for-profit motive of LANS.
In any case you seem to have some personal issues with LANL which we can all guess by know is getting fired or being shown the door for your incompetence. Have you ever thought that LANL has nothing to do how you have failed in life. Perhaps present situation is due to the sum total of your limited abilities and poor decision. It has nothing to do with scientists, people with PhDs, LANL, engineers, techs, admins, or anyone who works hard to succeed. Just something for you to think about before you post another one of your "I HATE LANL" rants on the blog.

Can you provide even one little shred of evidence for this statement? Of course not because Congress hasn't paid any attention to LANL or any other NNSA facility in over two years. Sorry to burst your bubble, little man.

Do you have any proof of any of this? I think not. The idea that the average worker at LANL thinks he/she is better than it all is pure nonsense and you know it. Again you have some kind of extreme hatred for LANL that makes you make crazy statements that you can never back up. What the hell is your problem? Could you just give us your story or would be like some kind of confession that you cannot give because it would make you look bad.

You are risking (and deserving of) an admonishment from our new mod. You are also not paying attention, even to news linked on this site, http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/absolutely-unacceptable-error-in-shipment-of-nuclear-materials-prompts-probe/article_5c845fee-4b05-51e8-9f19-efa63afee7a9.html Your entire universe is about to change with the next contract, shut up and follow the line or ship out.
Over and over again LANL demonstrates that employees and managers alike are delusional about its position in the national debate. When no one is giving a flip about the lab, employees still insist that they are the center of the entire discussion. Then when Congress does focus attention on the lab, managers proclaim that all is well and no problems exist. On both ends of the conversation the common theme is the delusional attitude displayed.

How completely ridiculous. The workers are just trying to keep their jobs. Managers pound on them because they cannot tell their bosses that things aren't going well. Their only recourse is to push the people below them ever harder. If the management cared about the mission and not just their big salaries and bonuses, the workers would have a chance to do things right. Privatization guaranteed this kind of irresponsible management.

Follow he line? How is our entire universe abut the change? The workers will still be employed you will still be out of mind bitter and unemployed. You will gnash you teeth wave your fists in the air blaming the universe for being so unfair.
So what did happen? Did you get beat up in a parking lot after getting a lap dance, did you think you are some great whistleblower but in the end has no friends or respect, did you think your are some super genius but the "system" would not recognize you, did you think you great ideas should be sold to Venezuela, did you talk to the press once and feel powerful but now can never achieve that same feeling again. Maybe you got retired before being fired and send endless hate letters to all sorts of blogs and newspapers Or maybe you are just out and out insane and think that LANL is housing the treys that poison your mind. I guess none of the reasons matter since they all effectively lead to the same place.
