Stephen G. Burns Becomes Agency’s 16th Chairman
Stephen
G. Burns, a 33-year-veteran of the agency and an NRC Commissioner since
November, has been designated as Chairman by President Barack Obama
effective Jan. 1, 2015. Burns replaces outgoing Chairman Allison
Macfarlane, who is stepping down to take a position at George Washington
University.
“I am pleased to have been selected to serve as
the NRC’s next Chairman. It is a great honor to lead the agency to which
I dedicated most of my professional career,” Burns said. “I extend my
thanks to Dr. Macfarlane for her service and wish her success in her new
position. I look forward to working with my fellow Commissioners, the
NRC staff and our stakeholders in carrying out the NRC's important
mission.”
