Washington, D.C. — Craig Piercy, CEO of the American Nuclear Society (ANS), issued the following statement:

“The American Nuclear Society commends President Biden for nominating Matthew Marzano to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Mr. Marzano is a nuclear engineer and licensed Senior Reactor Operator with a long record in nuclear safety and public service. He has experience operating and building nuclear power plants, training U.S. Navy personnel as nuclear plant operators on submarines and aircraft carriers, and advising on policy matters relating to clean air, climate, and energy. With his extensive experience, Mr. Marzano is well qualified to join the NRC and would be a welcome addition.

In 2022, Mr. Marzano served as the ANS Glenn T. Seaborg Congressional Science and Engineering Fellow on Capitol Hill where he advised the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW). Following the Congressional Fellowship, he joined the EPW as an Idaho National Laboratory (INL) detailee where he advised on the ADVANCE Act and prepared the NRC for a surge in new nuclear technologies.

The American Nuclear Society believes that U.S. nuclear safety and security interests are best served by having a full roster of NRC commissioners with proven technical and professional qualifications. As such, we urge the Senate to act promptly on Mr. Marzano’s nomination.”
