The National Nuclear Security Administration, an agency
in the Department of Energy that maintains the nuclear
arsenal and provides nuclear propulsion to the Navy, among
other things, has developed a plan to recruit and retain
officials with the technical, engineering and physical
sciences expertise to oversee and safeguard security
operations in the nuclear weapons complex, something that
could be used as a model to transform the entire DoE
safeguards and security community, NNSA has announced.
It said the plan is to develop a human capital management
program that improves the training, qualifications and
stature of the NNSA security workforce, engages national
markets to hire top security professionals, institutes a
long-term staff rotation practice, determines how to speed
up the security force clearance process, and improves
information flow.
The objective is to develop a quality team as quickly as
possible and to institutionalize the HR program permanently,
said NNSA.
It said that right away it will to develop a safeguards and
security internship program, begin aggressively recruiting
and establishing contacts with security societies, and
update an earlier analysis to compare current personnel
capabilities with skills and abilities identified by NNSA
facilities as essential.
