President-elect Donald J. Trump’s appointment of Brandon Williams to head the NNSA indicates a departure from traditional choices, raising questions about his qualifications for managing the U.S.'s nuclear arsenal.
Experts express concern over Mr. Williams’ lack of extensive experience in nuclear security, with some noting that such a role demands deep technical knowledge that he may not possess.
The scrutiny surrounding Mr. Williams' appointment is amplified by the Trump administration's potential plans to revisit nuclear testing, which would challenge existing arms control agreements.
Terry C. Wallace Jr. highlighted that he was surprised by Williams' selection, stating that his background does not align with the usual qualifications required to manage such critical national security responsibilities.
