Our Guest Speaker this year was Marvin "Marv" Fertel, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). He has 35 years of experience consulting for electric utilities on issues related to designing, siting, licensing, and managing both fossil and nuclear plants.
Marv has worked in executive positions with such organizations as Ebasco, Management Analysis Company, and Tenera. In November 1990, he joined the U.S. Council for Energy Awareness as vice president of Technical Programs. With the formation of NEI in 1994, he became NEI's vice president of Nuclear Economics and Fuel Supply.
Mr. Fertel was named senior vice president and chief nuclear officer in 2003. In that role, he was responsible for leading NEI's programs related to ensuring an effective and safety-focused regulatory process. He directed industrywide efforts to ensure adequate security is provided at nuclear power plants and to address generic technical issues related to commercial nuclear facilities.
He also led NEI's activities related to the long-term management of used nuclear fuel, including achieving success in the U.S. government's program for the storage and ultimate disposal of used nuclear fuel.
NEI's mission is to foster the beneficial uses of nuclear technology before Congress, the White House and executive branch agencies, federal regulators, and state policy forums; proactively communicate accurate and timely information; and provide a unified industry voice on the global importance of nuclear energy and nuclear technology.
NEI's objective is to ensure the formation of policies that promote the beneficial uses of nuclear energy and technologies in the United States and around the world.
Other highlights of the Teller Lecture and Dinner included the presentation of the 2013 Fred C. Davison Distinguished Scientist Award and the 2013 Robert Maher Memorial Scholarship.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our many sponsors, our CNTA membership, and supporters of the 2013 lecture.
