Frank Rose resignation from NNSA

Overview

Frank Rose, the Senate-confirmed second-ranking official at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), resigned following unspecified complaints. Reports indicate Rose was pressured to resign without being interviewed or informed of the specific accusations. The departure occurred amid internal tensions at the Department of Energy regarding the implementation of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (DEI) mandates, which some cited as a point of contention against the agency’s nuclear weapons mission.

Subsequent details identified Kathryn “Kate” Hewitt, a former research assistant to Rose at the Brookings Institution, as the individual making accusations. The investigation into Rose’s conduct involves his tenure at both the Brookings Institution and his leadership at the NNSA.
