"Thats my understanding of it. Recent rumors of the lab going away and being split between livermore/sandia and the savanah river facility as I recall."

Rumors are just rumors; there are still ~8000 people working here. In the NW consolidation, some work is leaving and some work is coming here. Lab is not very likely to be shutdown as there are some very unique, very expensive and extremely difficult to license facilities here. There is not the funding to move them or rebuild them elsewhere. This is not the place to come if you do not want to work (at least on my team and in my group); people here play hard but they also work very hard - getting something new/difficult figured out and done is very stimulating.
