The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Executive Director of Operations, Luis A. Reyes, was honored Nov. 13 with an American Nuclear Society (ANS) Presidential Citation. Donald C. Hintz, president of ANS, presented the award to Reyes at the ANS/European Nuclear Society International Meeting in Washington, D.C.

The citation acknowledges Reyes' outstanding work and tireless commitment to improve U.S. nuclear energy science and technology polices. In the past 29 years with the NRC, Reyes has demonstrated consistent leadership while working on challenges and preparing for the future of the agency.

As the Commission's chief operating officer, Reyes manages the agency's day-to-day operations, overseeing 3,500 employees and an annual budget of over $800 million. Under his tenure, the NRC has been recognized as the top-ranking agency in the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government and for its commitment to diversity. "I am honored to receive this recognition from ANS," said Reyes. "I have been fortunate to work with many outstanding colleagues who are dedicated every day to carrying out the agency's mission to protect people and the environment."

Each year the ANS president presents citations to those individuals who have demonstrated outstanding effort for the benefit of the American Nuclear Society and/or the nuclear community.
