  Do your job? Is "warhead core built following elementary safety standards" the nuclear version of "seven mutually perpendicular red lines drawn on a 2d page with green ink"? > Los Alamos's managers still have not figured out a way to fully meet the most elemental nuclear safety standards > it hasn't produced a usable new warhead core in at least six years I want to believe that the situation is as simple as replacing some stubborn lab managers and putting a new training program in place, but who the hell shuts down operations for six years just to preserve the bro culture? I don't buy it. Bureaucracies demand contradictions all the time, though, and they never run out of surprise at the real world's failure to abide by their contradictory requirements. > PF-4 is also the only place where existing cores removed randomly from the arsenal can be painstakingly tested The fact that the lab has unique duties presents a unique opportunity for such a tangle to happen.
