DTI has announced that NIA Chairman, Tony Cooper, has been appointed to the Board of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) as a non-executive director. We offer him our warm congratulations. As a consequence Tony intends to resign his position as NIA Chairman at the AGM in December, but offers to continue his association with NIA as a consultant to the organisation. Tony's resignation as Chairman accords with the plan agreed at the time of the NIA review at the end of 2003, that by 2005/06 he would step down to be replaced by an unpaid non-executive Chairman from among the existing Board members. While we regret losing Tony as our Chairman, it is clear that he will remain a valued adviser to NIA in the future. The other non-executive directors appointed today are: Nick Baldwin, Lyndon Stanton, David Illingworth, Primrose Stark, and Roger Scott.
