State of Nevada Agency for Nuclear Project announces new executive director, Fred C. Dilger, PhD.

The State of Nevada Agency for Nuclear Projects has a new executive director, Fred C. Dilger, PhD. He replaces Robert Halstead, who has retired. We thank Bob for his decades of service, and we welcome, celebrate, and congratulate Fred on his new position, after his many years of very important previous work and scholarship.

The State Agency also has a new website: <https://nuc.state.nv.us/>.

The website includes many valuable sections, including numerous related to why Yucca Mountain is unsuitable as a high-level radioactive waste dump; a section on the risks of high-level radioactive waste transportation; and a What's News section, updated daily, that links to radioactive waste and nuclear power developments in the U.S. and internationally.
