WASHINGTON β National Nuclear Security Administration officials on Friday attempted to notify some employees who had been let go the day before that they are now due to be reinstated β but they struggled to find them because they didn't have their new contact information.
In an email sent to employees at NNSA and obtained by NBC News, officials wrote, "The termination letters for some NNSA probationary employees are being rescinded, but we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel."
The individuals the letter refers to had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts. NNSA, which is within the Department of Energy and oversees the nation's nuclear stockpile, cannot reach these employees directly and is now asking recipients of the email, "Please work with your supervisors to send this information (once you get it) to people's personal contact emails."

Pantex is a the final assembly plant for nukes and also serves for their maintenance. It's in Amarillo Texas. It's a skilled technician job, not PhD research. It's a high hazard production facility which requires a Q clearance. You have to get certified to assemble each weapon and it takes a long time.
It's not a steel factory you can turn on and off. It's a bespoke facility that does one thing that nobody else does. This isn't journo bait, this is the reality of logistics and operations and managing a qualified workforce.
