The story “NNSA furloughs 80% of workforce, focus on keeping Pantex and Y-12 open” [Weapons Complex Morning Briefing, Oct. 21, 2025] should have said a source told the Exchange Monitor Monday the current focus is keeping the Y-12 National Security Complex and Pantex Plant running since both sites run out of funding first.
“The Y-12 National Security Complex remains in full operational status using contract funds from Fiscal Year 2025 carryover that are allowing our important national security work to continue,” a spokesperson from Consolidated Nuclear Security, the managing and operating contractor at Y-12, said in an email to the Monitor.
