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.”

A system has been developed to fulfill the entire coupled multiphysics analysis cycle for the design and analysis of complex fusion reactor components. It provides advanced modeling capability for converting computer-aided-design geometries to Monte Carlo (MC) geometries by employing constructive solid geometries and unstructured meshes. It also realizes the generic multiphysics coupling of the MC neutronics, computational fluid dynamics, and finite element thermal and structural analyses. This system is a seamless, extensible, and generic system that has been intensively verified for fusion applications.
