Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Lawrence Livermore national laboratory(LLNL) is a federally funded research facility and

development center. The Laboratory is located in Livermore, California, United States, on a

2.63km

site at the east of Livermore. his paper is a tour paper that analyses Lawrence

Livermore's national website. Since its establishmentwLLNC has grown to become a

productive laboratory that has impacted the state and the local area businesses and companies

in many ways. The Laboratory plays a vital role in solving current matters in the country

through different methods like research and partnerships (Ormand et al., 2018). The paper

analyses the institution's website as the center of the tour and what the website entails.

Additionally, the paper analyses the history and the significance of the institution at present

and the challenges it faces.

The Laboratory, originally part of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, was

established in 1952 when the Cold War peaked. The Laboratory was initially set to handle

urgent security needs by deterrence of nuclear weapons. It was later renamed to LLNL in

1971, and the Lawrence Livermore national security assumed management of the Laboratory.

In the 70s, LLNL launched a laser research program and has been at the lead of laser science

and technology since then. In 1992 major nuclear testing in LLNL were halted, the LLNC

shifted their focus to safer measure. This was through ensuring the security, safety, and

reliability of the state’s nuclear inhibition without nuclear testing. To address the

community’s concern over proliferation. The Laboratory established a non-proliferation, an

international security program. The Laboratory's technology development and analytics

capabilities were then focused on the posed threats using weapons of mass destruction by

nation-states or terrorists (white, 2018).

The LLNL website contains different sections that serve other functions. The website

includes a programs section to show events and programs, a science and technology section

covering research, a careers section, a community's section covering support to the

community, and a news section. The news section contains several primary sources to be

used for research ad for information. It includes a subsection of news timelines containing

significant event and articles. The section also contains Lab reports on the research and work

carried out in the LLNL laboratories.

Additionally, the section contains a subsection of publications that have been published by

LLNL. The publication includes anniversary books and reports, journals, and science and

technology reviews. Lastly, the section contains the media library subsection. This section

includes several audios, pictures, and videos of various proceedings in the Laboratory. The

science and technology section has a research and science subsections which contain various

primary sources of previously done research.

In recent years, safety lapses at the LLNL in California have created a danger for the public

and the facility as per congressional Defence Nuclear Facilities Safety Board investigators.

According to them, recent changes at the Laboratory have made the systems less effective,

i.e., recent changes have downgraded the design of ventilation enough to raise issues

concerning the public's safety from the accidental escape of radioactive material.

Additionally, due to the pandemic, LLNL has been one of two national laboratories, which

will have to be closed by 21

October if the shutdown continues. This will result in a layoff

of 7000 people from the two companies. Due to the pandemic and safety measure issues, only

essential workers working on critical government-related research have been allowed to
