The Obama Administration’s new nominee to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board is intended to replace current Board Member Joseph Bader, rather than fill a current vacancy. Late last week, the White House announced its intent to nominate Daniel Santos, a Senior Technical Advisor at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, to the DNFSB for a term set to expire in October 2017. Weapons Complex Monitor reported that Santos’ nomination was intended to fill the vacancy that occurred when Kenneth Mossman passed away early this year. However, Santos is instead being nominated to replace Bader, whose term has expired. The White House also announced late last week to renominate Jessie Roberson to a new term on the Board and to again designate her as Vice Chair.
