Mrs. Hanson authored a policy note in opposition to current Uranium-233 disposition efforts and advocating that the NRC clarify its definition on fuel processing to exclude chemistry performed inside the reactor. She studied Humanities with an emphasis in classics as an undergraduate, also learning Spanish, German, and sign language.

Mrs. Hanson grew up with nuclear energy moving with her family to 5 different power plants, including the High Temperature Gas Reactor at Ft. St. Vrain. These early experiences created a strong desire to see a future powered by clean, efficient nuclear energy. In addition to regular legal and compliance, she will be spearheading Flibe's licensing efforts with the NRC.
