The Nuclear Regulatory Commission promoted Daniel Dorman to director of operations, the agency wrote Tuesday in a press release.
Dorman is assuming his new post effective Oct. 10, NRC said. The former deputy executive director of the commission’s reactor and preparedness programs is stepping up to replace Margaret Doane, who is leaving NRC Friday for a position at the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Dorman has been with NRC since 1991, the release said.
NRC is the federal regulator for civilian nuclear power plants and waste.
