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.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation (ASI) program focuses on research and development (R&D) of technologies that benefit the nuclear community by enhancing measurement capabilities and addressing critical I&C technology gaps in support of sustaining the existing reactor fleet, deployment of next generation advanced reactor designs, and assisting ongoing materials and fuels experiments. ASI enables this crosscutting research by investing in emerging technologies under development at universities and national laboratories, and by evaluating and elevating technology maturity through technology commercialization efforts with industry partners. The program is organized in three research areas: sensors for advanced reactors, sensors for irradiation experiments and sensors integration. Each area technical lead is a panel member. The fourth panel member represents the perspective of one of the program major stakeholders, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This panel discusses the outcome of research activities funded by ASI and their implication on the accelerated deployment of advanced reactor technologies.
