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...

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

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.
