A Veolia Nuclear Solutions subsidiary has hired Bob Miklos, a retired nuclear waste manager at the Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory as VNS Federal Services’ executive vice president of program assurance, the company announced last week.
Miklos will help Veolia Nuclear Solutions (VNS) target opportunities for its GeoMelt and similar technology across DOE’s nuclear weapons complex, VNS said in a Sept. 6 press release.
Last December VNS opened its second commercial-scale GeoMelt unit, designed to convert small batches of low-level radioactive waste into glass form at Waste Control Specialists in Andrews County, Texas.
Miklos recently retired from the Idaho National Laboratory after 23 years there working for managing contractor Battelle Energy Alliance. Miklos managed facilities for spent fuel at the Materials and Fuels Complex. He has more than 30 years of operational experience with nuclear and non-nuclear facilities, according to the press release.
