However, the environment in which you must work is heavily regulated. The Society's Washington, DC representative, Craig Piercy, works closely with the Public Policy Committee, the Special Committee on Government Relations, the Executive Committee, and staff leadership to identify and address the priority issues facing nuclear professionals and their companies.
