The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission has appointed Vicki Bier, a recently retired professor of industrial and systems engineering and an affiliate of the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, to its Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards.
Bier, who has applied her expertise in risk and decision analysis to the nuclear power industry throughout her career, will serve a four-year term on the committee, which advises the commission on safety rules and issues.
She retired in January 2021 after 30 years at UW-Madison.
