U.S. Nuclear Infrastructure Council (NIC) Chairman Eric Knox announced yesterday he will step down from his position “to allow for new ideas and perspectives,” he said. Knox served as Chair for three years, and he will continue to serve as Chairman Emeritus of the Executive Committee. The NIC is a membership organization dedicated to the advocacy of new nuclear and engagement of the American supply chain globally, and Knox said in a memo to members he wants to allow others in the organization a chance with leadership opportunities. “The strength of NIC comes from the diverse companies and participants who represent the Nuclear Industry and constitute our membership,” Knox said in his memo. “Because we are a membership organization, I believe it is important for the leadership of the organization to be refreshed regularly to allow for new ideas and perspectives and to allow more member organizations an opportunity to participate in leadership.”
