#1 Isn't it true that the lab is actually run by the University of California? If that is true, it would explain a lot of the troubles the lab is having.

#3 The national laboratories are contracted out because they wouldn't be able to attract 'top' talent on Civil Service pay scales. Up until recently one of the California universities had the contract which no one bothered to contest cause of costs/benefits issues and political influence. With the numerous problems identified at LANL, a real request for bids is now out and a Texas university is very interested in the contract. Actually, most of the work can be distributed among the other labs, Livermore, Sandia, Oak Ridge, and Argonne. We're still operating the same number of laboratories as when we had a far larger defense establishment 70-80s, than we have today. No need now. The only function LANL is as a holding site for medium and high level radioactive materials, which are awaiting the Nevada storage site to be completed for transfer.
