Kerr, former Los Alamos director, brings DOE background to bolster nuclear and biological threat work while peers warn his lack of forensic training could strain reliance on longtime bureau staff. Critical voices include Stephen Kohn, whistleblower advocate for Frederic Whitehurst, whose concerns helped trigger a Justice Department report.
