TWO NRC REGIONAL ADMINISTRATORS ARE REASSIGNED
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has named Hubert J.
Miller, currently administrator of NRC Region III, headquartered
in Lisle, Ill., to be the new administrator of NRC Region I,
which has offices in King of Prussia, Pa.
Mr. Miller will succeed Thomas T. Martin, who will become
the new director of the Division of Reactor Programs Management,
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, in NRC headquarters at
Rockville, Md.
Both assignments will be effective August 4. A successor to
Mr. Miller as Region III administrator will be named in the near
future.
"I am pleased to announce these management changes," said
James M. Taylor, NRC executive director for operations.
Region I encompasses 11 states and the District of Columbia
in the northeastern United States and has 29 commercial nuclear
power reactors. Region III is responsible for the NRC regulatory
program in eight midwestern states and includes 27 commercial
nuclear reactors.
Mr. Miller has been Region III administrator since last
July. He is a graduate of Notre Dame University, where he earned
both liberal arts and civil engineering degrees, and received a
master's degree in environmental engineering from the University
of North Carolina School of Public Health.
After five years' service in the Navy, he joined the NRC in
1976 and worked for 10 years in the headquarters Office of
Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards in the areas of fuel
cycle licensing and waste management. Later, he held several
positions in the Office of Inspection and Enforcement and the
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. He moved to NRC Region III
in 1987, serving as director of the Division of Reactor Safety
and as deputy regional administrator until he was named
administrator last year.
Mr. Martin has been Region I administrator since 1990. He
is a graduate of Georgia Tech, where he received a bachelor's
degree in electrical engineering. Mr. Martin served seven years
in the Navy and worked in the electric utility industry for four
years before joining the Atomic Energy Commission (NRC's
predecessor agency) in 1974 as a reactor inspector in Region I.
Later, he directed the region's Division of Engineering and
Technical Programs, Division of Radiation Safety and Safeguards,
and Division of Reactor Safety. He was deputy regional
administrator for a year before being appointed as administrator.
