LLNL Takes the Lead in Managing the DOE’s FastForward Program
Around the end of March, 2012, The U.S. Department of Energy informed the folks at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) they had been selected to run the DOE’s FastForward program. Now LLNL is certainly not ‘running’ this on their own – they are for the most part on equal footing with their sister labs (in alphabetical order), Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories.
They all have parallel and comparable research responsibilities, but for LLNL, those are in addition to the very big task of managing the overall FastForward program.
