Summary

The Trump administration abruptly fired up to 350 National Nuclear Security Administration employees as part of a broader Department of Energy workforce purge led by Elon Musk’s DOGE.

The cuts, which heavily impacted nuclear weapons and waste management staff, sparked backlash from experts and lawmakers.

By Friday, all but 28 firings were rescinded.

Critics warn that such instability threatens national security and nuclear modernization efforts. Some reinstated employees remain uncertain about returning, fearing future disruptions.
