Department of Energy contractor Veolia Nuclear Solutions Federal Services has promoted chief operating officer Steve Moore to be its president and CEO.
The U.S. based subsidiary of Veolia Nuclear Solutions announced the promotion in a Tuesday press release. Moore has been interim CEO since August following the resignation of William Morrison, who left Veolia to become chief operating officer of waste management at an industry rival, Utah-based EnergySolutions.
Morrison had previously worked at EnergySolutions.
As for Moore, he worked as chief operating officer at Veolia Nuclear Solutions Federal Services (VNSFS) after serving as CEO of Wastren Advantage from 2006 until Veolia acquired it in 2018. In Tuesday’s release, Veolia said with Moore at the helm, Wastren grew from a regional firm with less than 50 employees to a national company with an international reach.
The press release said Moore was selected by the VNSFS board of directors to be the permanent CEO.
“Veolia has made significant investment in the U.S. nuclear market, including the recent design, build, and commissioning of our GeoMelt facility at Andrews [Texas],” Dominique Richit, CEO of Veolia Nuclear Solutions, said in the press release. “Steve brings the experience we need to develop our investments in the U.S. and reinforce our strength in the markets we serve.”
“VNSFS is a well-known, respected and trusted name in the industry, as evidenced by our many DOE contracts and partnering arrangements,” Moore said in the release. “My goal is to see VNSFS continue to lead the industry for years to come.”
