Mason Says Triad LLC Five-Year Contract Extension Is Direct Result Of Workforce’s Hard Work And Dedication

This is a outstanding news and shows the comment and experience of UC in leading LANL. Hopefully NNSA will see what is going on and get rid of Bechtel from LLNL. Congrats to LANL, UC, and TRIAD!

I can feel the gnashing of teeth at Bechtel headquarters over this. LANL was nothing but crazy uncontrolled cowboys that even Bechtel could not beat into submission and that TRIAD would be utter disaster and be out after 3 years for sure. Some Bechtel people actually told me this, "the cultural problems are too deep at LANL, TTRIAD will be in for a shock!!!". Well that prediction was wrong. Go TRIAD, go UC!!!

The snakes at TRIAD hide their tracks much better than the dinosaurs at Bechtel. They are still reptiles.

I am just curious why you say TRIAD are snakes? Everyone I know agrees that TRIAD has been way better than Bechtel. The only times I have heard anyone say something bad about TRIAD has been this blog. I know a few managers left when TRIAD came in but other than that who has an issue with TRIAD. Care to explain the issues you think TRIAD has.

TRIAD manages to score political points. I wouldn’t expect you to understand because you’ve never had management that was devoted to the cause of National Defense. Are they better than Bechtel? Sure, who isn’t. Are they good at keeping the right people happy? Sorta; they certainly line their own pockets. Are they doing what needs to be done to advance our country? No, they are not.

I left LANL during the Bechtel (LANS) years. I also have heard nothing bad about Triad from my former colleagues.

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!
