Carter Meets with Google CEO During Los Alamos Visit
In July, Carter described the group’s job as “keeping DoD imbued with a culture of innovation in people, organizations, operations, and technology, to support people who innovate, those creative figures in our department who are willing to try new things, fail fast, and iterate; and also to ensure that we’re always doing everything we can to stay ahead of potential adversaries.” The board previously announced that it would meet in October to develop suggestions for Carter, and the Pentagon official said Schmidt took time out of his schedule to spend the two days learning about the department to help direct those conversations.
Los Alamos is home to Plutonium Facility 4, the US government’s science, technology and manufacturing center for plutonium. Press were not invited to visit the lab, but a Los Alamos press release said Carter visited the pit casting area, “where molten plutonium is shaped into a pit, the plutonium core of a nuclear weapon.”
