Marzano sworn in as NRC commissioner
Marzano
Matthew Marzano became the newest member of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission when he was officially sworn into office by chair Christopher Hanson this week.
The nuclear engineer and former reactor operator was confirmed last month in a 50–45 vote in the U.S. Senate. Last July, President Biden nominated Marzano to serve on the commission, which is tasked with formulating policies, developing regulations, issuing orders, and resolving legal matters.
Marzano’s term expires June 30, 2028.

The major RETRAN-related activities that have occurred over the past 2 yr are reviewed. These activities fall into two broad areas: the use of RETRAN-02 by the nuclear industry and the development, verification, and validation of RETRAN-03. Both of these subjects are discussed and the new and different applications of RETRAN briefly indicated.
