Michelle Reichert has been promised to the No. 2 position on the management team at Consolidated Nuclear Security, the government’s management and operations contractor at the Y-12 and Pantex nuclear weapons facilities.
According to Monday’s announcement by CNS President and CEO Morgan Smith, Todd Ailes will succeed Reichert as the site manager at the Pantex Plant in Texas.
The organization changes are effective immediately.
CNS, a corporate partnership headed by Bechtel, said Reichert will be primarily based out of Pantex but will share overall leadership responsibility with Smith and will focus on “communications with employees, customers and other key stakeholders.”
With this management choice, Smith apparently won’t fill his former position as chief operating officer. Smith succeeded Jim Haynes, who returned to Bechtel.
