Following the departure of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Chair Kristine Svinicki earlier this year, Commissioner Annie Caputo announced her resignation, effective 30 June 2021. That leaves the commission with three members: Chair Christopher T. Hanson, Jeff Baran, and David A. Wright. Due to the commission's rules regarding party equity, one of the vacancies is designated as a Democratic seat and the other as Republican. The Health Physics Society (HPS) would like to support potential candidates for these two positions. If you or any of your HPS colleagues have interest in exploring the possibility of being appointed the commission by President Joe Biden and working in beautiful White Flint (Rockville), Maryland, please contact HPS Congressional Liaison David Connolly or HPS Federal Agency Liaison Craig Little. Expressing interest is the first step in what is a complex and, sometimes, byzantine process, but don't let that dissuade you.
