Brown Bag Luncheon -- Featuring Van Mauney 

You are cordially invited to attend our next INS Brown Bag Luncheon.  This month, we will have Y-12 Vice President for Program Management and Vice Admiral, US Navy (Retired), Carl V. "Van" Mauney speaking on Nuclear Security: An Operational Perspective.

 

Van Mauney directs management of Y-12’s programs that help sustain the nation’s nuclear deterrent, reduce the threat posed by nuclear proliferation and terrorism, and provide material for a reliable fuel supply for the U.S. Navy. Specifically, he oversees planning, budget execution, and integration of all programs related to nuclear weapons, Y-12 facility infrastructure, uranium supply and disposition, nuclear nonproliferation, environmental management, and work with other federal agencies and private industry.

Additional responsibilities include the creation of partnerships to develop, use, and advance technologies developed at Y-12. In addition to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of Y-12’s production processes, these technologies strengthen the science, technology, and engineering competencies that are important elements of the National Nuclear Security Administration’s missions.

Joining the Y-12 leadership team in 2011 after retiring from the U.S. Navy with the rank of Vice Admiral, Mauney was a career submarine officer, having served at sea on four submarines including command of the nuclear-powered submarine USS L. Mendel Rivers. Other command and staff assignments included operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom; directing naval air, surface ship, and submarine operations in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean areas; and conducting strategic and financial planning for the U.S. Navy.

Most recently he served as deputy commander of U.S. Strategic Command. In this role he directed military forces in the conduct of assigned missions including strategic deterrence, space, and cyberspace operations and advocated for required multiservice military capabilities to support present and future operations.

Mauney holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Georgia Tech and an M.B.A. from Chaminade University of Hawaii. He was a Federal Executive Fellow at the U.S. Department of State and has completed the Navy Executive Business Course at the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School at Chapel Hill.
