Summary: Your author has lived in Livermore, California most of his adult life. For those of you that really don’t know where this is -- Livermore in on the eastern side of the central SF Bay Area.
Livermore is really, really important to the second word this is paper’s title. I pointed this out in an earlier post about Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) National Ignition Facility (NIF) summarized and linked in this post. Now, a private firm that worked with LLNL on the project described in the above post is starting to build a major facility in Livermore.
