Can't see what NCAR and LLNL are doing at the same paragraph.
Read:
Star Warriors by William Broad.

I think the physical science stuff is far more interesting than
some of their computing stuff (pardon my friends who work there).
Bill Gosper pointed out the grottiness of physicist code ;^).
Too bad you can't easily take a tour. I have a 4 inch sabot from
the last tour milled at the High Explosives Applications Facility as a
paper weight. The defunct mirror fusion facility is interesting as are
the Nova Lasers. They produced a nice 40 year ann. from founding booklet
which you might be able to write for copies to LLNL.
