          National Ignition Facility, the Human Genome Center, the ASCI
          Tera-Scale Computing partnership, the Computer Security
          Technology Center, and the Site 300 Experimental Test
          Facility.  Other research areas are Astronomy and
          Astrophysics, Atmospheric Science, Automation and Robotics,
          Biology, Chemistry, Computing, Energy Research, Engineering,
          Environmental Science, Fusion, Geology and Geophysics, Health,
          Lasers and Optics, Materials Science, National Security,
          Physics, Sensors and Instrumentation, Space Science.
       
          LLNL also works with industry in research and licensing
          projects.  At the end of fiscal year 1995, the lab had signed
          agreements for 193 cost-shared research projects involving 201
          companies and worth nearly $600m.
