The US government is trying to rehire nuclear safety employees it had fired on Thursday, after concerns grew that their dismissal could jeopardise national security, US media reported.

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) workers were among hundreds of employees in the energy department who received termination letters.

The department is responsible for with designing, building and overseeing the US nuclear weapons stockpile.

The terminations are part of a massive effort by President Donald Trump to slash the ranks of the federal workforce, a project he began on his first day in office, less than a month ago.

US media reported that more than 300 NNSA staff were let go, citing sources with knowledge of the matter.

That number was disputed by a spokesperson for the Department of Energy, who told CNN that "less than 50 people" were dismissed from NNSA.

The Thursday layoffs included staff stationed at facilities where weapons are built, according to CNN.

The Trump administration has since tried to reverse their terminations, according to media outlets, but has reportedly struggled to reach the people that were fired after they were locked out of their federal email accounts.

A memo sent to NNSA employees on Friday and obtained by NBC News read: "The termination letters for some NNSA probationary employees are being rescinded, but we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel."

"Please work with your supervisors to send this information (once you get it) to people's personal contact emails," the memo added.

Wait, Trump, Musk, and their nazi cronies sacked lots of people without considering the consequences?

That can't be real.

After all, they're both business geniuses.

^Fire people, then try to rehire them, but you can’t because you torch the only way you had to get in touch with them.

Forward thinking, that is.

Yep, I'd definitely twist their balls.

It’s like sacking all of your garbage collectors and then wondering where that funny smell is coming from.

I have thought the same thing.  There is no reason to believe a rehire will last beyond the next whim of president Melon Husk and his sidekick Cheeto.
