Domenici was many things, but a saint was not one of them. At the expense of the rest of the county, he fed the pork to NM for years and may be best known for fathering a child with the teenage daughter of one of his senate colleagues and keeping it hidden for more than 35 years.

"he fed the pork to NM for years"

What pork did he ever feed to NM? Your hate LANL and Sandia are about you and you alone. LANL and Sandia serve the nation not just New Mexico, you idiot.

9:53 AM. Your comment is very ignorant. Show me a politician who doesn't work on behalf of his/her constituents and I'll show you a polition that isn't going to get re-elected.

Dominici was an outstanding Senator who worked tirelessly for America. Unlike Udahl and Heinrich, he also understood the issues. He earned every vote from his constituents and colleagues on both sides of the isle.

It is sad that instead of a Senators who work to protect one of the prime industries in New Mexico, we now have Senators who enjoy destroying this state's national labs. LANL and SNL started going downhill once Dominici left office. He's dearly missed.

Heinrich surely hasn't been nearly as supportive of the core LANL mission as Dominici had been. I think Heinrich has some vague general ideas of turning the Lab into something else, perhaps an Environmental and Green Energy paradise. Who is advising this guy? What does he think would happen to Northern NM if the Lab's core mission was reduced or even eliminated?

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.

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
