The scores are in and once again LANL is the lowest in the complex

This was the final year of LANS and Wallace was able to do his very best and LANL hung onto last place! Way to go!!

Are the Labs/Plants mandated to release information on where/how this money is spent? Is this information released publicly? For example, how much of the money is allocated for management bonuses?

LLNS does very well and comes out on top, as does SNL. The M&O for LLNL is the exact same as it was for LANL, yet LANS comes out on bottom, 15 points below the other two weapons labs. Could it be that the problem wasn't the M&O but was the lab?

Or could it be that we here at LLNL have simply found a way to work well in spite of Bechtel and LLNS? I know where I work at LLNL, that is the case......talk about absolutely no value added. And it IS frustrating and painful to have to continually find work-arounds because of those clowns.

Same M&O contractor, completely different contracts - different missions and responsibilities. Apples and oranges. Hint: LANL is a weapons lab.

To the first commenter: The labs that are run by private LLCs do not have to release information on the spending for which they do not request reimbursement from the government. Generally this money comes from their corporate fee and would include any bonuses. A few years ago, entities receiving money from the Recovery Act were required to disclose total compensation for their top 5 employees. I don't believe this is the case any more.

More broadly, the labs' budgets can be found in each year's approved federal budget. But I suspect you're looking for more detail than that.

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!
