We had a story in this morning's paper on a study getting underway regarding the possibility of moving the nuclear weapons program out of the Department of Energy and into the Defense Department. Consider this an open thread for your comments.

First, the story:

The Obama administration is considering moving Sandia and Los Alamos national labs, along with the rest of the U.S. nuclear weapons design and manufacturing complex, out of the Department of Energy and into the Defense Department, according to an internal memo obtained by the Journal.

Such a change would end more than six decades of civilian management of the U.S. nuclear weapons program. 

Your thoughts? Is this a good idea? What are the problems in the current management structure that this might address? What new problems might be introduced? To folks who work at the labs, would this make any difference in the way you do your job day to day?
