Our Statement on President Biden's NRC Nomination of Matthew Marzano

On Sept. 11, Good Energy released the following statement from Policy Analyst Julia Sweatman.

"Good Energy Collective is pleased to express our support for President Biden’s nomination of Matthew Marzano to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

"With over a decade of experience in the nuclear sector as a senior reactor operator and nuclear engineer, Mr. Marzano’s technical expertise is exemplary. As a legislative staffer, he also was instrumental in the passage of the ADVANCE Act. His unique ability to bridge technical and policy perspectives, a rare combination in the nuclear industry, would be invaluable as the Commission oversees the rollout of advanced nuclear.

"We’re particularly encouraged by Mr. Marzano’s commitment to enhancing public participation and engagement. We’re thrilled that he intends to scale up the Commission’s active outreach to communities and their representatives, a goal that — if implemented — can help foster public confidence in nuclear energy.

"Confirming Mr. Marzano would fill a crucial vacancy in the Commission and bring on board a dedicated professional whose strong credentials and unwavering commitment to nuclear safety will significantly benefit the Commission and the broader nuclear community."
