Ho Nieh nominated to the NRC
Nieh
President Trump recently nominated Ho Nieh for the role of commissioner in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission through the remainder of a term that will expire June 30, 2029.
Nieh has been the vice president of regulatory affairs at Southern Nuclear since 2021, though he is currently working as a loaned executive at the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations, where he has been for more than a year.
Nieh’s experience: Nieh started his career at the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory, where he worked primarily as a nuclear plant engineer and contributed as a civilian instructor in the U.S. Navy’s Nuclear Power Program.
From there, he joined the NRC in 1997 as a project engineer. In more than 19 years of service at the organization, he served in a variety of key leadership roles, including division director of Reactor Projects, division director of Inspection and Regional Support, and director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
Speakers will show slides by using USB drives with the conference-provided laptop. Session chairs and speakers cannot use their own laptops; the conference-provided laptop must be used. Suggest to presenters that they email the slides to themselves and upload them to the meeting platform as back-ups.
Speakers know to check in with you in your session room at least 15 minutes before the start of your session. They may present you with brief biographical information to aid in your introductions. Or, before the conference, you can ask speakers to provide you with brief bios for introductions.
Assist presenters in keeping track of their time so that presentations do not run over. Please do not rearrange the order of the presentations in your session.
If your session is in the first morning timeslot, a session sign will be placed by the room approximately 20 minutes before the session begins. For all other timeslots, the session sign will be in place.
Start your session with a quick introduction.
If you have a no-show, hold that time slot, and do not move ahead. Consider prompting discussion about the session’s topic to fill the time and to encourage attendees to remain in the room.
Inform ANS Registration/Help Desk of any no-shows in your session or you can email epsr@ans.org to report no-shows.
Remind attendees who request Professional Development Hours (PDHs) that they must complete the in-app session survey.
