There's interesting physics that you can learn from NIF and (aside from all that bomb design we didn, LLNL was ( is ?) mostly a research lab.

We agreed to stop blowing holes into the Nevada desert. I wouldn't be surprised if NIF is an important contributor to designing bombs. And unlike the Nevada Test Site, you can watch the reaction up close and in detail.
