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...

Everyone knows this is how the GRT is used, why is this a surprise? This is New Mexico after all land of corruption.

Right. That's what everyone in Washington thinks. Plus everyone in Russia and China. Plus everyone in academia who try to match LANL's data. Plus the military, who depend on LANL for NW issues and results. But keep on with your mindless drivel it is entertaining!
Those days are long long gone. It is about free money now and has been since 2005.
The lab most certainly does NOT exist "solely for the enrichment of the local community", that's a gross exaggeration. 93% of LANL's budget was spent on the same things post-2006 as pre-2006. Of the 7%, less than 1/3 of it made it into the local communities, that's about 2% of LANL's budget.
It's fair to argue that the 2% was wasted, and much of it was wasted, but don't try to turn a 2% issue into a 100% issue. This kind of gross exaggeration just makes you sound like a fool.

Nothing new. The "it's all about the money" guy has sounded like a fool from the start. Zero brain cells, and dollar signs instead of eyeballs. Yeah, just like the cartoon.
