Did anyone notice Triad got a worse at risk fee score for 2019 than LANS ever did except the WIPP year? What is going on?

Triad 2019: 66%

LANS 2018: 75%
LANS 2017: 70%
LANS 2016: 85%
LANS 2015: 74%
LANS 2014: 45% (WIPP accident)
LANS 2013: 82%
LANS 2012: 74%
LANS 2011: 83%
LANS 2010: 81%

To be fair to Triad, I'm not sure its an apples to apples comparison. One has to consider new variables to determine what is going on. LANS was removed for cause based on sustained poor performance. Are the performance metrics for Triad post LANS failures/lessons learned, identical to the performance metrics for LANS?

Additionally, Field Office Manager Kim Lebak "retired" and other LANS PER report card graders left about when Charley did, so now you have a new set of NNSA Los Alamos Field Office managers evaluating Triad performance. Perhaps the NNSA headquarters determined the NNSA Los Alamos Field Office leadership was a little too chummy and compliant with LANS leadership and wanted material changes in those interactions. None of which means Triad is performing worse than LANS.

One sample does not a trend make. Also, a battleship does not turn on a dime. Important life lessons, my son.

We will see what the trend looks like after this year. The CS-137 is a good point. I really havent seen much change so far.

What are the odds that this person will ever have to steer a battleship? I don't think a single navy has them anymore.

2/16/2020 11:10 PM you must be a software engineer. They are the closest approximation to robots that I have ever worked with. I think they literally have an interpreter in their brain than runs code just to execute their thought processes.

Ok boomer.


How did you know I was in software engineering? Kind of creepy that you could figure that out.

Duh, the "OK Boomer" is a dead giveaway. Programmers used to be proud to be known as programmers, as in "Real programmers write FORTRAN," and can do so in any language de jour.

Maybe Boomers are more intelligent thoughtful and experienced than you think.

The Cs-137 incident happened in May 2019. Although it was a catastrophic event that will ultimately cost NNSA/DOE billions of $$, somehow TRIAD was able to keep it secret. It also was caused by the LANL-led Off-site Source Recovery Program which is organizationally lies under NJ Nicholas and John Sarrao. None of the responsible line managers were held accountable and all of them got big bonuses. LANS got a "D", but TRIAD got an "F" in their first year. Just shows you how bad the NM crackpot, worthless newpapers are to not have reported this event. This event contaminated numerous people as well as the surrounding communities. Why is none of this getting reported?

As an observer, what is up with this "ok boomer" thing. I mean, what are you mad at? Really don't get it.

Mad at "boomers" taking up valuable spaces in good high paying jobs when they should just give it up and retire already, and let the inexperienced, poorly educated younger people have their chance. How dare you be old and still be so good at what you do?? Also, your worldview just sucks, thinking the US is anything special.

You do understand that this post is why so many young people say "ok boomer". Sigh, the lack of self awareness is rather stunning.

Let us spell it out for you and that the world that...oh maybe some older generations have left for the millennials is not exactly the best and why they might be a tad bitter? Lets see the average college grad is now 32k in debt, Boomers did have to go into debt to go to college. Boomers also got to go podunk State U but today will look down on younger people who did not go to a private college. Boomers got pensions and got rich off the stock market that went up 30 times since 1980 when it was only 800 and now it is 30k there are no pensions for millennials and there is no way the stock market is going to go from 30k to 900k in their lifetimes heck it is probably going to crash because there is no way the earth can take it. The boomers got in during the 60 years the earth could be exploited with a growing population. Now with extreme global warming the economies are going to retract one way or the other and gen Z and millennials are going to have to live with it and never know the wealth and lack of responsibility that the boomers had. The only thing that some of them have going from them will be the transfer of wealth from boomers through inheritance. To top this all off boomers are still stuck in many of the old ways in terms of diversity, unearned privilege, and women rights. Ok boomer now do you see why some of them are a bit pissed that they got the short end of the stick?

2/20/2020 9:18 PM tells us of the unbelievable misery and despair among the genxers and millennials, who are having such a hard time trying to find a parking spot for their Beemers and Mercedes due to overpopulation brought on by the thoughtless Boomers. Such a sad story !

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!
