Dear Mr. Glenn:

 

On behalf of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (Board), I would like to offer my sincere thanks and appreciation to Michael Reaka for his six years of dedicated service as the Pantex Site Office’s liaison to the Board.  The liaison position requires an individual who can professionally interact with personnel from several organizations, coordinate multiple activities, and resolve a large number of administrative demands.

 

Due to Mr. Reaka’s diligence, the Board’s briefings and tours at the Pantex Plant have been consistently well planned and executed.  In addition, Mr. Reaka has ensured that staff visits, conference calls, and video conferences were efficient and productive for all involved parties.  Furthermore, he has been extremely helpful in resolving the logistical and training issues associated with maintaining the Board’s site representative office at the Pantex Plant.

 

Please accept my personal thanks for Mr. Reaka’s invaluable contributions as your liaison to the Board.  I wish him every success in his future endeavors.

 

Sincerely,

 

A. J. Eggenberger

Chairman
