A recently retired public servant who headed up safety management for Canada’s nuclear regulator is now lobbying his former agency on behalf of the nuclear industry.

Brian Torrie left his post at the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) in October, according to a post on LinkedIn. He spent nearly 18 years at the commission, which regulates the use of nuclear energy and materials, most recently serving as the director general of the directorate of safety management, and then as an acting vice president.
