NRC could improve decommissioning trust fund oversight, OIG reports
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission could do more to improve its oversight of decommissioning trust funds, according to an assessment by the NRC’s Office of Inspector General. In particular, the assessment, which was conducted by Crowe LLP on behalf of the OIG, identified four areas related to developing policies and procedures, workflows, and other support that would enhance NRC oversight of the trust funds.

Dr. Christopher Poresky is the Manager of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) in the Instrumentation, Controls, & Electrical (IC&E) Department at Kairos Power. The CPS team designs and maintains Kairos human-machine interfaces, datalogging and communications infrastructure, and operations and maintenance strategies for Kairos test systems big and small including the Kairos Power Fluoride-Salt-Cooled High-Temperature Reactor (KP-FHR) design. These products empower the Kairos team to learn from its design, build, and test activities in real time and feed learnings into next iterations so that the KP-FHR can provide clean, affordable energy.
Previously, Dr. Poresky was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley. He obtained a Ph.D. and M.S. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley as well as a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey – New Brunswick.
