Peter Bradford is an adjunct professor at Vermont Law School, where he teaches Nuclear Power and Public Policy and has taught The Law of Electric Utility Restructuring. He also advises and teaches on utility regulation, restructuring, nuclear power and energy policy in the U.S. and abroad. He was a member and chair of the Public Oversight Panel for the Comprehensive Vertical Assessment of Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant and has served as an expert witness on investment in new nuclear power plants in several states. He is one of Vermonts two representatives on the Texas/Vermont Low Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission. He has been a visiting lecturer in energy policy and environmental protection at Yale University.
He served on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission from 1977 until 1982. During his term, the NRC undertook major upgradings of its regulatory and enforcement processes in the wake of the Three Mile Island accident.
He chaired the New York State Public Service Commission from 1987 until 1995 and the Maine Public Utilities Commission from 1982 until 1987. During these years, New York resolved its stalemate over the Shoreham nuclear power plant and Maine resolved its involvement in Seabrook, both on favorable economic terms. He was Maine's Public Advocate in 1982 and was President of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners during 1987.
Prior to becoming a member of the NRC, he had served on the Maine Public Utilities Commission (1971-1977) and was Chairman in 1974-1975.
He served on the 2007 Keystone Center fact finding collaboration on nuclear power and the 2006 National Academy of Sciences panel evaluating the alternatives to continued operation of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plants in New York. He is also affiliated with the Regulatory Assistance Project, which provides assistance to state and federal energy regulatory commissions regarding economic regulatory policy and environmental protection.
He served on a panel advising the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development on how best to replace the remaining Chernobyl nuclear plants in Ukraine and also on an expert panel advising the Austrian Institute for Risk Reduction on regulatory agency issues associated with the opening of the Mochovce nuclear power plant in Slovakia. He advised the Vermont Legislature on issues relating to spent fuel storage at Vermont Yankee and the Town of Wiscasset, Maine, on issues related to the storage of spent nuclear fuel at the site of the former Bradford Resume
Maine Yankee nuclear power plant.
He has advised on electric restructuring issues and has testified on aspects of nuclear power, electricity and telecommunications restructuring in many U.S. states.
He has also advised on energy, telecommunications and water utility restructuring issues in China, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Canada, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, Samoa, South Africa and Trinidad and Tobago. He is a member of the Policy Advisory Committee of the China Sustainable Energy Program, a joint project of the David and Lucille Packard Foundation and the Energy Foundation.
Mr. Bradford was an advisor to Maine Governor Kenneth Curtis from 1968 to 1971, with responsibilities for oil, power and environmental matters. He assisted in preparing landmark Maine laws relating to oil pollution and industrial site selection and was Staff Director of the Governor's Task Force on Energy, Heavy Industry and the Coast of Maine.
Mr. Bradford is the author of Fragile Structures: A Story of Oil Refineries, National Security and the Coast of Maine, a book published by Harper's Magazine Press in 1975. His articles on utility regulation and nuclear power have appeared in many publications, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, The Atlanta Journal Constitution, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and The Electricity Journal.
He is a 1964 graduate of Yale University and received his law degree from the Yale Law School in 1968.
