- Share via
WASHINGTON — The Energy Department said today that it is installing a new manager at the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant in Colorado to replace Edward S. Goldberg, who was at the center of a controversy in July over a possible shutdown of the facility.
The department said David P. Simonson, a nuclear engineer with 16 years’ experience in the federal nuclear weapons program, will take over for Goldberg later this month.
Simonson, 46, has been acting deputy manager at Rocky Flats since July 12. Before that he was deputy director of the Energy Department’s Office of Nuclear Materials Production.
