Mark Lombard, director of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Division of Spent Fuel Management, has been promoted to deputy director of the agency’s Office of Administration.
Michael Layton, director of the Division of Security Operations in the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response, will replace Lombard, who has spent five years in the position.
The NRC has not officially announced the promotion, nor set start dates, but Lombard confirmed the move last week at an industry event.
The NRC website already lists Lombard in his new role at the office that provides administrative services in a wide range of areas including transportation, food services, labor services, supplies, graphics, and printing.
Lombard is a mechanical engineer who joined the regulator in 2003. He has held a number of roles, including director of the NRC Division of Facilities and Security and associate director for space planning and consolidation.
Layton, a geologist, has served in his current role since February 2015.
