Performance-based management : Lab rated " excellent " in science and technology LBL , along with Livermore and Los Alamos national labs , has received an overall rating of " excellent " for fiscal year 1994 as part of a first-time system of performance-based management by the University of California . You can envision all kinds of applications where there might be interested in ' what if ' scenarios for radiological dispersal devices or anthrax releases or sarin releases and they can do those calculations by accessing our computers here in Livermore automatically over the Internet and we provide them tools that display the results over the roads , fire stations , hospitals , water bodies , political boundaries , those kinds of things . Sandia National Laboratories , in Livermore , Calif ., is even creating a Center for Integrated Nanotechnology to focus its efforts , said Mark Allen , a manager in the lab 's technology commercialization office . Representative facilities which are strong foci for research integration are the Sandia Combustion Research Facility , in Livermore , California , and the High Temperature Materials Laboratory , at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory , and the Advanced Photon Source , at Argonne National Laboratory . NCI Founding President Paul Leventhal noted the recent discovery of a secret laser enrichment program in Iran and said , Given the urgency of U.S. efforts to win wide international support for shutting down Irans nuclear weapons program , this is surely precisely the wrong time to start up a nuclear-weapons AVLIS program at Livermore National Laboratory . The review should include a thorough analysis of the impacts of laser-separation technology which , if developed and applied at Livermore , could be disseminated or otherwise stimulate development of such plants in non-nuclear weapon states under civilian auspices for production of weapons-grade plutonium . One of the enduring grand challenges is achieving nuclear fusion - - the power source of the Sun and stars and the physical process at the core of Livermore 's national security mission - - in a laboratory environment . One violation took place on the Placer County fairgrounds in Auburn ; the second occurred on the Alameda County fairgrounds in Livermore . The table " System Availability Details " above shows various aspects of our systems ' reliability since NERSC moved from Livermore to Berkeley Lab . Linux clusters of both architectures have been deployed at Livermore . According to Pete Witze , the Sandia engineer at Livermore , Calif ., who led the road test , a version of the laser system contained in a box was loaded into the trunk of a diesel-powered Volkswagen Jetta . Starting in the mid-1980s , researchers at Livermore sought ways to control X rays created when high-powered laser beams penetrate a gas .
