Now this is the type of research Sandia is cut out for:

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...

What on earth? You could do a very simple calculation to show that of course this is possible. You could also do another one to show how beyond unfeasible it to this on level for actual food production around the world. These guys are not using the solar panels on you house but an array precision mirrors that cost millions to make. These mirrors are used for solar energy.
I guess this is just a joke thing someone did for fun one afternoon it it just odd that it is being pitched like some actual science or something, it is not.
To be fair to Sandia their twitter feed is much better than LANLs. Sure the chili one
is sort of odd, but the rest is pretty good.
