He has served as an expert on spent fuel management and reactor decommissioning policy matters, for reactor license renewal proceedings and for storage facility and repository developmental activities. Mr. Reamer consulted on the regulatory process for a deep geological repository with national and international bodies including the U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board and the International Atomic Energy Agency. He led innovative approaches to reach out to public communities affected by nuclear energy regulatory activities and consulted in areas such as public meeting facilitation for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). He has served as an expert on NRCs Waste Confidence decision.

Prior to retiring in 2006 as Director of NRCs High-Level Waste (HLW) Repository Safety Division, Mr. Reamer led the establishment of NRCs regulatory framework for a possible geological repository at Yucca Mountain Nevada.

As Deputy Director of NRCs Division of Waste Management and Environmental Protection, Mr. Reamer oversaw programs on decommissioning of nuclear facilities and sites, environmental protection, and low-level waste (LLW) management. He has been an officer of the triennial meeting of the International Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel and Radioactive Waste Management and consulted on development of International Atomic Energy Agency standards for geological repositories.

As an attorney manager at NRC, in the Office of the General Counsel, Mr. Reamer advised on licensing, certification and regulation of spent nuclear fuel transportation, storage and disposal; was involved in key legal proceedings upholding NRCs general license for spent fuel storage; and advised on NRCs Waste Confidence decision. He continues to be actively involved in Waste Confidence activities as they pertain to reactor license renewal and new reactors.
