Washington, DC - Nevada Senator Harry Reid today swore in Gregory B. Jaczko for a second term as a commissioner of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in a ceremony in the U.S. Capitol.

“I’m very happy Dr. Jaczko will serve a second term as an NRC Commissioner,” Reid said.   “Having worked directly with him, I know he will continue to ensure the safety and security of nuclear power plants.”
 
Jaczko will serve as an NRC member for an additional five years (until June 30, 2013). Jaczko is one of five commissioners who will vote on plans for the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump.
 
Jaczko received his doctorate degree in physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
