Krause joined the NRC Region III office in 2014 as a reactor engineer. Before joining the NRC, he was a radiation safety officer for a General Electric Hitachi site and previously held two senior reactor operating licenses from the NRC. Krause has also served six years in the U.S. Navy and is a graduate of the U.S. Navy Nuclear Power Program.
