This past May, NETL staff members, Rodrigo Viveros Duran and Tristan Brannon, successfully passed the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Senior Reactor Operator exam.
They were officially issued their Senior Reactor Operator licenses on July 9, 2025. With this achievement, NETL now has four licensed Senior Reactor Operators and three licensed Operators on staff—significantly increasing daily operational capacity and strengthening the lab’s ability to support advanced research and testing.
