Supporters defend Trump’s pick to control America’s nuclear arsenal before Senate grilling
Fox News
Brandon Williams, President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the National Nuclear Security Administration, is appearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
He brings with him thousands of hours of experience supervising the operation of a nuclear power plant and propulsion plant on a nuclear submarine, and he's undergone rigorous training to supervise two naval reactor designs, sources tell Fox News Digital.

Tom D'Agostino, a former administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration himself who served under former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, said Williams' nomination comes at a critical time for nuclear deterrence.
"There's no question in my mind that he has what it takes from a technical expertise, technical competence and technical leadership standpoint, because he's already proven it," D'Agostino told Fox News Digital. "He's proven it in the Navy. And just having gone through and made it through the nuclear propulsion program, which is the heralded program started by Admiral Rickover over 50 years ago, I have absolutely no doubt at all that he could run this organization."
