Senate EPW Committee to hold Nieh nomination hearing
Nieh
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee will hold a nomination hearing Wednesday for Ho Nieh, President Donald Trump’s nominee to serve as commission at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Trump nominated Nieh on July 30 to serve as NRC commissioner the remainder of a term that will expire June 30, 2029, as Nuclear NewsWire previously reported.
Nieh has been vice president of regulatory affairs at Southern Nuclear since 2021, though since June 2024 he has been at the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations as a loaned executive.
A return to the NRC: If confirmed by the Senate, Nieh would be returning to the NRC after three previous stints totaling nearly 20 years.

This will be Part 2 of a “two-part” joint session between the Cost Reduction and Innovation tracks to discuss federal programs available for utilities and how they can be utilized. In Part 1 in the Cost Reduction Track, we heard about the programs available, including how to stack the Inflation Reduction Act tax credits and leverage DOE Loan Programs to benefit nuclear. This session (Part 2) will follow with utilities presenting practical examples of how they are looking to utilize these tax credits and federal loan programs, including uprate projects, pursuit of new nuclear, innovative plant modifications, and loan guarantees for developing hydrogen production facilities.
