Furloughs taking place at agency maintaining nuclear stockpile
Furloughs are taking place Monday at the National Nuclear Security Administration, which is responsible for overseeing the U.S. nuclear stockpile. Roughly 1,400 employees at NNSA will be given furlough notices and less than 400 workers will remain to safeguard the stockpile, according to a Department of Energy official.
"This morning, America’s nuclear security administration has begun furloughing federal employees due to the Schumer shutdown. I’m in Nevada today to meet with some of these critical workers and to ask Nevada’s leaders to help us end this shutdown," Energy Secretary Chris Wright wrote on X.
