A longtime nuclear industry executive has joined used fuel management specialist NAC International as chief strategy officer.
William Gallo “will lead the development of business strategies, strategic partnerships, and acquisitions to drive NAC’s growth and profitability,” according to a press release Monday form the Peachtree Corners, Ga.-based company.
President and CEO Kent Cole said Monday he could not discuss details of what that would involve. “He’s certainly going to work with our leadership team to look for opportunities where we think there is potential for growth,” he said in a telephone interview with RadWaste Monitor.
Gallo assumed his new position this week, Cole said.
Gallo most recently served as chief executive officer for Veolia Nuclear Solutions, the nuclear decommissioning and waste management branch of the Paris-based multinational. It was not immediately known when he left the company.
Gallo was chief executive at nuclear cleanup and decommissioning technologies developer Kurion at the time of its acquisition by Veolia in 2016. He also held the CEO spot at AREVA Federal Services, NAC noted in its release.
Established in 1968, NAC in 2013 was acquired by manufacturing and engineering company Hitachi Zosen Corp., based in Osaka, Japan. It provides storage vessels and transportation systems for spent nuclear reactor fuel. The company is also partnering in Interim Storage Partners’ project for a consolidated interim storage facility in Andrews County, Texas, for used fuel from U.S. nuclear power plants.
