Apostolakis Ends NRC Commissioner Tenure

NRC Commissioner George Apostolakis’ tenure on the Commission ends today. Apostolakis, who has served on the Commission since 2010, confirmed two weeks ago that he would not be returning as commissioner after President Barrack Obama elected not two re-nominate him to another term. “I am proud and honored to have served as a member of the U.S Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the past four years and to have served as a member of the Commission’s Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards for 15 years, including a term as Chairman of the Committee, prior to my appointment to the Commission,” Apostolakis said in a statement two weeks ago when the news originally broke. “I thank President Obama for the opportunity to serve.  It has been an extraordinary professional and personal experience and a great privilege to work with my fellow Commissioners.  I leave with great pride in what we have accomplished together.”
