Sandia National Laboratories safeguards the nation's nuclear stockpile and helps the country solve some of its most pressing engineering problems in homeland security, energy, and basic research.
Its roots lie in World War II's Manhattan Project. Its history reflects the changing national security needs of postwar America.
Sandia's original emphasis on ordnance engineering - turning the nuclear physics packages created by Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories into deployable weapons - expanded into new areas as national security requirements changed.
In addition to ensuring the safety and reliability of the stockpile, Sandia applied the expertise it acquired in weapons work to a variety of related areas such as energy research, supercomputing, treaty verification, nanotechnology, and nonproliferation.
Hello, On behalf of Kardo, a Driver Recruitment agency, I am here to state that we need a system or device installed in vehicles which can find out if someone is holding a baggie of drugs in the car or at least there are narcotics within the distance of one, two, or three meters. I have not found a device like this on the website. However, I believe you would have the main idea of what we need and even how to develop this. Sincerely, Kardo
"And that is why the Instrumentation Department budget is so high" (words that I've used to conclude budgetry discussions with my ex-boss on quite a few ocassions and all I was asking for was a bunch of thermocouples after they were damaged during testing. I wish I'd had this video ten years ago.)
We spent taxpayer dollars on this when we could have filmed an egg falling of the counter onto the kitchen floor for the same information. Congress doesn’t know what the military is asking for when they request funding for research projects
The Ocean is going to put immense wear & tear on this thing. And look how complicated it is with so many moving parts. I hope it works but the upkeep will be too costly to make it viable ..imho.
Jimmy Hoffa vaporised . A funny world. I am born, bred and still living in Northern Ireland, I left school with no qualifications at 16 and i am in my 50's and still I know to make Jimmy Hoffa jokes. A funny world.
My dad worked at Sandia National Laboratory in Livermore. I believe from about 1960 to the early 1990's. I am and always have been very proud of my father and the projects he worked on. I was born in 1958 and grew up during the Vietnam War, I remember there were protesters that had been gathering and protesting because of the work that had been going on at Sandia and LLNL. I still have the mug that my dad brought home with the Thunderbird on one side and my name on the other.
Funny that the only nation that ever used nuclear weapons in war, is worried so much about their own safety, after committing one of the biggest war crimes in history.
