KLOTZ TO VISIT Y-12 NATIONAL SECURITY SITE NEXT WEEK

By ExchangeMonitor

New National Nuclear Security Administration chief Frank Klotz will visit the Y-12 National Security Complex next week as part of an effort to visit all of the weapons complex sites during the first few months of his tenure. Klotz will visit Y-12 on Wednesday June 4, where he will tour production and storage facilities and meet with contractor and federal officials, NNSA spokesman Derrick Robinson said. The next day, he’ll give a speech at the Tennessee Valley Corridor National Summit in Chattanooga, Robinson said. Klotz visited the Nevada National Security Site and Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories earlier this month after being confirmed by the Senate in April. The visit to Y-12 won’t be his first. The retired lieutenant general visited the site in 2009 when he was the commander of Air Force Global Strike Command.
