Trump administration backtracks on firing nuclear arsenal workers

Cuts to nuclear security workforce were made on Thursday - but agency can't find workers to offer them their jobs back

The US agency charged with overseeing nuclear weapons is looking to contact workers who were fired on Thursday as part of the Trump administration's federal cost-cutting measures, but are now needed back.

Officials with the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) attempted to notify some probationary employees who had been let go that they are due to be reinstated - but they struggled to find them because their contact information was missing.
