Presidential nominations to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Statement from American Nuclear Society President Steven Nesbit and Executive Director and CEO Craig Piercy:
“We applaud the administration for forwarding nominations for the open NRC seats. The American Nuclear Society has consistently highlighted the need for a full commission of qualified individuals. We look forward to hearing the nominees’ views on how they will ensure the NRC continues to carry out its mission of ensuring public health and safety. Specifically, we are interested in hearing how the nominees will approach the need for the continued safe and efficient operation of our current nuclear power plants, and establishing an effective framework for licensing and oversight of a new generation of nuclear technologies needed to address our most pressing climate and energy security challenges.”
