Bruce Held, the acting administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration and acting undersecretary for nuclear security, visited the Y-12 National Security Complex on Thursday.
Held toured the site and conducted an “all hands” meeting at the site’s New Hope Center to talk to federal and contractor employees.
Held is a retired clandestine operations officer of the Central Intelligence Agency, a former national security adviser to President Bill Clinton, former counterintelligence chief at Sandia National Laboratories, and former director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence.
In June, new Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz asked Held to assume the responsibilities of associate deputy secretary and acting undersecretary.
