In a memo addressed to the heads of the national nuclear weapons laboratories, Williams stated, "This is not a suggestion, it's a directive. Our national security leaves us no other choice," as reported by the newspaper.
Williams directed his subordinates to be more watchful in preventing the leakage of classified information, highlighting the importance of keeping the secrets that give the world's deadliest weapons their effectiveness.
The NYT also noted that one of the individuals who received this memo is Tom Mason, the director of the Los Alamos laboratory. This laboratory was where the atomic bomb was first developed and continues to work on the development of nuclear weapons.
The report mentions that the organization faced accusations of a security lapse last year.
The breach involved several incidents in 2023 and 2024, during which unauthorized items such as cell phones, headphone devices with microphones, and coffee makers with Bluetooth remote controls were taken into secure zones, according to the NYT.
