I'm reading here that at least 2 LLNS employee deaths (that we know of) may have been prevented with appropriate management employee engagement. My question is, how do these loss of life tragedy stats differ from other USA employers if they do at all? Are LLNS employment related death stats consistent with non-government funded employers?
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...

In 2009, a NIF employee was placed into EBA status then dies by an onsite government vehicle that he had been operating. The DOE/NNSA Accident Report fails to mention this employees new EBA status or the plausible relevance of the EBA status and the subsequent death of this NIF employee. Instead, the report calls it a "routine transfer to another position". The report also states, "This report neither determines nor implies liability". In 2012, a NIF employee commits suicide after being informed he was in the process of being fired. In 2013, a former NIF employee placed into EBA status wanted to report to a non-NIF manager, but that request was denied by his assigned NIF manager who went on to say, "I'm going to be your manager until the end." NIF doesn't appear to have been a compassionate or caring place for employees to work these many years ago. Has NIF management and NIF employee interactions improved in 2022, or do they have the same shameful employee treatment issues to this day?
