Trump's idea of nuc testing is stupid

Nuclear testing is very, vary bad:

Note how the “experts” have perfect knowledge of other nations stockpiles. None of them have ever worked in the US nuclear weapons complex let alone the complexes of the highly secretive countries on which they speculate about.

Profit and diversity

Have the LANL and LLNL for-profit contractors, improved or undermined diversity efforts compared to UC/LANL or UC/LLNL?

Live nuclear testing could start soon

Live nuclear testing could resume in ‘months’ if needed, official says

Nuclear ban in question

In April, while most of the world was focused on defeating a devastating viral pandemic, the US State Department quietly released its annual compliance report, describing whether and how the United States and other countries have been abiding by various arms control agreements. The report is sober reading for those hoping that the coronavirus would usher in a new era of international collaboration.

The report made waves for raising “concerns” about China’s adherence to a “zero-yield” nuclear testing standard, as called for by the 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty

Nuclear testing and trump

Is this real? Trump may want to do a NW test? What could possibly go wrong?

This is tragic!

Why haven't we helped Native Americans, in some cases relatives of our Lab coworkers, as clearly detailed in this article? This is tragic and unsympathetic.

Sandia Mandatory COVID-19 Testing

Sandia National Laboratories announced today that at some point in the near future they will be rolling out mandatory random/sequential COVID-19 PCR testing. There was no information on what will happen upon a positive test result. Failure to comply will result in punitive action, up to and including termination.
Apparently the ADA and EEOC have suspended all rules protecting employees from invasive medical testing, in the name of workplace safety. Any thoughts how to handle a forced test with unknown personal and career impact, when you feel fine and know that the test has a nonzero false-positive rate?
