Keith Everly – Head of Security and IP Management
Mr. Everly had been a Senior Program Manager for Licensee Security and was the lead protection of classified matter inspector for all uranium enrichment plants regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). In his role, he led the agency’s program allowing NRC licensees to access classified information. Mr. Everly previously had over 38 years as an expert in both information and physical security programs for the protection of classified and sensitive information. He has extensive knowledge of the classified aspects of uranium enrichment processes i.e., American centrifuge technology, laser enrichment technology, and European centrifuge technology. His experience and knowledge have benefited NRC licensees and applicants seeking access to classified matter via the NRC Facility Security Clearance Process.
Mr. Everly has improved the NRC’s security programs with international partners, at NRC Headquarters, in the NRC regional offices, at licensee facilities, and in national-level security programs and instituted a program after the events of September 11, 2001, that allowed NRC reactor licensees access to certain classified threat information for the protection of their facilities.
Mr. Everly has a B.S. degree in Business Administration from the University of Maryland.
