Frank Rose, principal deputy administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, will leave the nuclear weapons agency this spring, his boss said Tuesday in an all-hands email.
“Principal Deputy Administrator Frank Rose will be leaving,” National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Administrator Jill Hruby wrote in the email. “Frank has been an energetic and deeply valued presence in our organization, widely known as a team player here in headquarters and across the Nuclear Security Enterprise. He will be here through the end of April.”
Rose served in the NNSA nearly as long as Hruby. He was sworn in on Aug. 2, 2021, only a week after Hruby.
Among his achievements was “increasing NNSA’s annual allocation of full-time employees, a major win,” Hruby said.
Rose worked in the Barack Obama administration’s Department of Defense and Department of State. He also worked on Capitol Hill and, just before joining the Joe Biden administration’s NNSA, he was a fellow for security strategy at the Brookings Institution think tank. He lived in Massachusetts before joining the NNSA.
