Reflecting its continuing concern about the management of the National Nuclear Security Administration, the House Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee will hold a hearing next week to examine the creation of the agency more than a decade ago. Former NNSA Administrator and nonproliferation chief Linton Brooks, former NNSA executive and Los Alamos National Laboratory Director Bob Kuckuck and an official from the Government Accountability Office will testify before the panel at 3:30 p.m. June 27. Led by chairman Michael Turner (R-Ohio), the subcommittee has spearheaded an effort to reform the NNSA, adding language to the Fiscal Year 2013 Defense Authorization Act that would increase the autonomy of the agency, eliminate DOE Office of Health, Safety and Security oversight of the agency, and streamline directives and regulations governing the agency. The hearing is expected to center on the success of attempts to make NNSA a semi-autonomous agency within DOE when the agency was created in 2000.
