Bradley Crowell: Bad Choice for Nuclear Regulatory Commission

On May 3, President Joe Biden nominated Annie Caputo and Bradley Crowell to fill vacant chairs on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Caputo is highly qualified. She holds a B.S. in nuclear engineering from the University of Wisconsin and has experience in the nuclear industry, working for the Exelon Corporation. From 2005 to 2006 and again from 2012 to 2015, she worked for the House Committee on Energy and Commerce handling nuclear issues, subsequently serving as senior policy adviser to John Barraso (R., Wyo.) on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. In May 2018, she was appointed by President Trump to be an NRC commissioner, serving in that capacity until June 2021. President Biden is to be commended for nominating her.
