LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) - An associate director at Los Alamos National Laboratory has been appointed to oversee the lab's weapons program.
Charles McMillan succeeds Glenn Mara, who recently retired.
McMillan has been the laboratory's associate director for weapons physics. In his new role, he will be responsible for ensuring the safety, reliability, and performance of nuclear weapons.
Laboratory director Michael Anastasio said McMillan brings a scientific background, technical innovation and a leadership vision to the assignment. McMillan holds a doctorate in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
McMillan said the weapons program's function for the nation "is just as important now as it ever was."
