Annie Caputo, who has served as a commissioner on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) since 2018 and was reappointed to the role for another five-year term in 2022, has resigned from the NRC. She provided the following statement:

“It has been my honor and privilege to serve as a commissioner, contributing to the work of the agency,” Caputo said in a Tuesday statement emailed to Exchange Monitor from the NRC spokesperson.

“I have decided to resign from the Commission, effective upon the swearing in of my colleague David Wright,” Caputo said. “The time has come for me to more fully focus on my family.
