The NRC’s Annie Caputo resigns
Caputo
Commissioner Annie Caputo is resigning from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, according to a statement sent out to staff on Tuesday morning. Her resignation comes one day after the U.S. Senate voted to reconfirm chair David Wright to the commission.
“The time has come for me to more fully focus on my family,” Caputo said in her statement, provided by NRC spokesperson Scott Burnell. “I believe the [Trump] administration’s recent executive orders and the bipartisan ADVANCE Act have given the agency a platform for change.”

The Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced awardees to the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP). With teams assembled and activities commencing, this panel will showcase some of the design features of different reactors being planned for near-term demonstration. This includes concepts from both the reactor demonstration as well as risk reduction initiatives, notably Natrium, Xe-100, Hermes, and the Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE). The panel will primarily focus on the technical design specifications of the reactor systems as they pertain to neutronics, material, and thermal hydraulics.
