The CEO of that sub company was a real “cowboy”!

The sub story is interesting but it is hard to see a NNSA connection. I guess calling cowboy would be one way.

I think this OceanGate company could have avoided this disaster had they had someone on their board of directors with 1) Naval experience and 2) Physics knowledge. I think what they needed was a vice-admiral with a physics degree from Princeton. That is, they needed Pete Nanos to avoid this tragedy.

Pete Nanos wold have blamed the Orcas and would stand down the ocean and open it up with only 10 fish if need be. He would keep telling the fish, "you don't get it", "you don't get it", when asked "what is", he would just say "asking questions is part of the problem!"
What can be done in the ocean that that cannot be done elsewhere?

To be honest Pete did not have much knowledge of physics, sure he has a degree in experiment physics from Princeton but the work was never cited and had no influence. He never went near physics again. He is the least scientific person of any of the lab directors by order of magnitude.

All this relates to the DOE national nuclear weapons laboratories how?

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.
