Snyder Amy
@snyderamy
Senior nuclear engineer and project manager specializing in reactor decommissioning and fuel cycle regulation.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior nuclear engineer and project manager with deep experience in reactor decommissioning, fuel management programs, and fuel cycle regulatory frameworks. I have served in leadership roles advising senior management, coordinating multi-disciplinary technical teams, and liaising with interagency and external stakeholders.
My career highlights include leading complex license termination reviews (e.g., Humboldt Bay, Zion, Three Mile Island), managing high-visibility spent fuel transportation studies, and directing decommissioning and materials licensing projects for naval and civilian sites. I have authored policy and technical guidance, developed strategic plans, and implemented novel programmatic approaches to streamline licensing processes.
I bring expert knowledge of NRC rules, regulatory guides, NUREGs, and relevant codes and standards, and I have applied risk insights to inform regulatory decision-making. I have experience working with DOE sites, NNSA, and international bodies, and I have represented the agency in multinational technical forums.
I am a collaborative leader who mentors staff, builds cross-office coalitions, negotiates technical resolutions, and delivers time-sensitive solutions under resource constraints. I focus on integrating mission, strategy, and stakeholder needs into effective, defensible regulatory outcomes.
