Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Chairman Ho K. Nieh is set to deliver key insights at two prominent energy summits in Washington, DC, on Thursday, June 10, focusing on nuclear regulation and its role in public health, safety, and security.
Chairman Nieh will participate in a fireside chat at POLITICO's Energy Summit at 10:30 a.m. Eastern time, engaging with Energy Reporter Kelsey Tamborrino at the JW Marriott. Later that day, at 2:30 p.m. Eastern time, he will join another fireside chat at the Foundation for American Innovation's Energy Imperatives Summit.
This second discussion will feature U.S. Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) and be moderated by Emmet Penney, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation, held at The Capitol Hilton. The NRC, an expert technical agency, is responsible for regulating the civilian use of nuclear materials, including issuing licenses, conducting inspections, and enforcing regulations.
The agency is actively collaborating with interagency partners to implement reforms outlined in new Executive Orders and the ADVANCE Act. These efforts aim to streamline agency activities and enhance efficiency in enabling the deployment of nuclear power for the benefit of society.
