WASHINGTON D.C. The Nuclear Innovation Alliance (NIA) shared the following statement in response to President Biden's nomination of Matt Marzano to be a Comissioner on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This statement may be attributed to NIA Executive Director Judi Greenwald:
“NIA applauds President Biden's nomination of Matt Marzano to be a Commissioner on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Mr. Marzano is highly qualified for this position. Mr. Marzano's professional training as a nuclear engineer and senior reactor operator would enable him to make unique and valuable contributions to the Commission, leveraging his technical experience and focus on operational safety. As the Commission works to modernize the licensing and regulation of existing and new nuclear power plants, Mr. Marzano's experience as a staffer on the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works provides insights that can enable the Commission to effectively and efficiently implement recent Congressional legislation on nuclear regulation. We believe the Commission works most effectively as a collegial body when it has a full complement of five Commissioners, and think that Mr. Marzano's confirmation to the Commission would best position the agency to succeed as it prepares to license the next generation of nuclear technology.”
