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.
Since 1911, PowerLabs has continually provided customers quality calibrations and testing. First established under the Philadelphia Electric Company’s testing section, we have since grown and expanded our laboratory capabilities not only in metrology but in testing and analysis over the last half century. Today, PowerLabs is the primary calibration and testing laboratory for Constellation. We have labs strategically located from the upper-Midwest to the Northeast to better support the urgent demands of quality driven industries.
We maintain both A2LA Accreditations for ISO 17025 calibrations and Appendix B calibrations, assuring our technical competence as a laboratory. Many of the listed parameters and ranges here are accredited. Please see our Scope of Accreditation for each of our sites on our website. As an Approved Nuclear Supplier, we adhere to strict code requirements including 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, NQA-1 and ANSI N45.2. These guidelines are the basis for which we have built our Quality Program.
