NNSA

By ExchangeMonitor

Alice Williams, manager of the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Lawrence Livermore Site Office, is joining the senior management ranks of the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management, a move that has been expected for some time. The shift, which comes as EM is undergoing a reorganization led by acting cleanup chief David Huizenga, was officially announced yesterday. EM did not specify Williams’ new position, but did say she will “work with the headquarters staff and the field leadership to integrate overall operations, ensure line management accountability, and maintain support to accomplish EM programmatic activities” and will “address and resolve field issues and concerns and ensure that effective operational and management support is provided to EM program offices and other DOE program elements.” 

Williams is the latest in a series of NNSA officials to join the top-level management of EM, following Huizenga and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Tracy Mustin. She has served as head of the Lawrence Livermore Site Office since November 2008, and according to EM, previously held “leadership positions” at the Idaho Operations Office and the Ohio Field Office/West Valley Demonstration Project, among other roles. “Williams has a proven track record in developing innovative solutions to complex environmental problems, including rail transport of spent nuclear fuel, facility decommissioning, and the development of land-use plans,” EM said.
