Following the confirmation of Marvin Adams to his new National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) position, Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm has given a statement of support.
"I am so grateful to the Senate for confirming Marvin Adams to serve as deputy administrator for Defense Programs of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)," she said in a recent Department of Energy news release.
In addition to her statement of support for Adams, Granholm expanded on his extensive background in his field and in the realm of public service.
"Marvin launched his standout career at one of our National Labs, and he's shown his dedication to public service again and again by serving on the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and in other advisory roles," she said in the release.
In his role at the NNSA, Granholm noted that Adams will be a key player in mitigating the threat of nuclear war.
"In his new position at NNSA, Marvin will play a crucial role in keeping our nation—and our world—safe from nuclear threats," she said. "I am thrilled that he's willing to serve the American people once again and excited to welcome him back to the DOE family."
In addition to his role at the NNSA, Adams is also an educator and key member of nuclear organizations.
"Dr. Marvin L. Adams is the HTRI Professor of Nuclear Engineering and director of National Laboratories Mission Support at the Texas A&M University system, where he has been on the faculty since 1992," the release said.
