Radioactive waste transport and management provider Orano TN has a new president, its parent company announced this week.
Longtime General Electric executive Amir Vexler started at Orano TN this month, according to his LinkedIn profile.
“Amir’s energy and expertise are the right mix for our TN business,” Orano USA CEO Sam Shakir said in a press release Monday, “as we actively enhance our competitive positions in the used fuel, decommissioning, and federal environmental clean-up markets.”
Orano USA is the domestic branch of French nuclear company Orano, formerly AREVA. Orano TN provides used nuclear fuel storage systems, “pool to pad” services for storage of spent fuel, and transport and other nuclear logistics.
Vexler most recently spent more than three years as chief executive officer of Global Nuclear Fuel, a GE- partnership with Hitachi and Toshiba that provides fuel for boiling water reactors. He previously was the joint venture’s chief operating officer for just over years, in a tenure at GE dating at least to September 2002.
