Send it to New Mexico.

Yes, to WIPP. Reauthorize for Pu metal. It is the only rational solution. Except of course the real solution, which is reprocessing for nuclear fuel. Thank you Jimmy Carter.

New Mexico will take it along with the millions for jobs. Perhaps we should start shutting places down that will not take the bad with the good.

How about this: We move more nuclear wast to New Mexico, the extra people for this work could
be hired directly from the refugees from Mexico, we would pay them less but it would be a good job, have the sign some waivers that they cannot sue due to safety. Win, win..win.

They get a good job and are safer than their home countries, we will pay less money than having to move it elsewhere.

If Nevada's politicians had any idea of just how much Plutonium is stored at the NNSS they would stroke out! Above ground, illegally buried underground, etc. This entire ordeal is nothing more than a method for the NV Dems to score some political points while Sec. Perry laughs in the corner over their complete ingorance of the facts!

Secretary Perry knows some facts? Who would have guessed?

"...illegally buried underground..."??? You mean it was CONTAINED, as required by law and treaty.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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

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.
