Mr. Lloyd has 33 years of experience with Southern Company. He has held various management positions throughout the engineering, generation, and nuclear organizations. He worked at Plant Vogtle on the construction and project management staff for Units 1 & 2 and was at the Vogtle site during the final year of construction/startup, the first fuel cycle and the first refueling outage. He previously was General Manager of New Generation Projects in Engineering and Construction Services, supporting the development, design, procurement, and construction of new generating facilities for Southern Company. He is currently the Vogtle 3&4 Project Support Director and has been integrally involved with project development, licensing activities and negotiation of the EPC contract.

W. Kenneth Hughey is a 27-year veteran of the Entergy system and has been involved in the acquisition of nuclear plants and planning for the deployment of new nuclear units since 1999. He is responsible for the team whose members contract and provide services in the areas of licensing, decommissioning and management services for the nuclear industry.

Hughey joined Entergy in 1983 as a licensing engineer, advancing to the position of director of corporate licensing and then to the position of director of nuclear safety and regulatory affairs at Grand Gulf. Later, Hughey directed the Licensing & Quality Assurance division of Entergy Nuclear Business Development’s New Plant division. He was certified as a Senior Reactor Operator while at Grand Gulf in 1994-95.

His leadership has been instrumental in the success and expansion of Entergy’s non-regulated nuclear lines of business. He has been a project lead in evaluating and planning for plant acquisitions. Hughey led the successful effort for combined construction and license applications for new nuclear units that could be built at two of Entergy’s existing Mississippi River sites: Grand Gulf Nuclear Station near Port Gibson, Miss., and River Bend Station in St. Francisville, La.

Additionally Hughey and his team worked with the NuStart consortium of which Entergy is a founding member. The industry consortium was formed in 2004, sharing funding from the Department of Energy, to test the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s revised, but unused, licensing process for obtaining a combined construction and operating license for an advanced nuclear power plant.

A native Mississippian, Hughey earned a chemical engineering degree at Mississippi State University and an MBA at Mississippi College. Hughey is licensed as a professional engineer by the state of Mississippi and is a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and the American Nuclear Society where he served as executive director for the Operations and Power Division.

Mr Retson is president of EnergyPath Corporation. As cofounder of EnergyPath in 2002, Tom guided the formation and growth of this unique energy market consulting firm. EnergyPath is headquartered in Wilmington, NC, and is broadly renowned for core competencies within the global nuclear power and energy industries.

A 23 year career with GE Nuclear Energy provided the foundation for Mr. Retson’s move to EnergyPath. Joining GE upon graduation from University of Wisconsin with a BS degree in nuclear engineering, Tom completed multiyear engineering assignments before assuming progressively more responsible US, European and Asian nuclear fuel marketing and sales management positions, most recently as group executive for GE Nuclear electric utility customers in the northeastern US.

Broad international nuclear market experience and strong technical capabilities have equipped Mr. Retson with a keen business focus. As US electric markets began restructuring in recent years, this extensive industry background has allowed Tom to help numerous energy market clients with project management, business analysis, and strategic decision support.

In 2004, as part of the US Department of Energy 2010 program, Mr. Retson formed and led a diverse team of technical, business, licensing, and financial experts in a comprehensive feasibility study of new nuclear generation in Texas. Industry-financed, the resulting report has been applied as a principle input to ongoing new reactor development projects in Texas.

Tom has similarly led global market analysis and business strategy development efforts for a number of nuclear plant, fuel technology, reactor services, and nuclear instrumentation firms. In a related area, Tom has been particularly active with international nuclear fuel technology development clients.

In addition to leading EnergyPath, Tom cofounded Transition Power Development and Blue Castle Holdings Inc where he is the Chief Operations Officer. In this role, he has actively led site development, licensing, and nuclear plant technology evaluation activities since 2006 for the Blue Castle Project, a Greenfield nuclear project in the U.S. state of Utah.

Tom and his family make their home in Wilmington, North Carolina

Mr. Graber joined the EnergyPath team in June, 2002 and is the Company’s chief economic officer and the developer of the models and methods that are used to assist clients seeking economic, financial and strategy decisions in energy and nuclear markets.

An energy economist, Mr. Graber has assumed management positions in planning, strategy and marketing throughout his career. Most recently, as the Director of Strategic Planning at Cadenc Design Systems, Mr. Graber was responsible for the enterprise strategy of a fast growing, $1 billion high tech company in San Jose, California.

Prior to Cadence, Mr. Graber spent over 20 years with GE’s Power Systems business as a key member of the GE Nuclear Energy management team in San Jose, California. As the chief marketing strategist, Mr. Graber guided this business through deregulation of its U.S. and European electric utility customers beginning in 1992, implementing a new marketing model which emphasized customer value creation.

Prior to 1992 Mr. Graber was responsible for developing a business model focusing on products and services as the division’s primary nuclear reactor market retrenched after 1980. At that time GE was the most financially successful of all U.S. and European nuclear suppliers with a highly profitable and growing nuclear fuels and services business.

Mr. Graber came to GE from Chase Manhattan Bank in New York, where he was a Vice President of the Energy Economics Division beginning in 1977. In this capacity Mr. Graber had chief responsibility for advising the Bank on capital requirements within the electric utility, uranium and nuclear fuel industries. Mr. Graber was also responsible for assessing credit risks associated with these industries, and for collaborating with the Bank’s senior management to limit the Bank’s exposure to technology risk.

Mr. Graber has an MBA in economics from the Stern School of Business at New York University, where he graduated with honors in 1977. Mr. Graber’s education also includes a masters degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Cincinnati in 1972 and a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Miami in Florida in 1968.

Mr. Graber started his career in 1969 as an engineer with GE’s Aircraft Engine Operation in Cincinnati and Nuclear Fuel Services in Rockville, Md. Following these positions, in 1972 American Electric Power in New York City recruited Mr. Graber to manage their nuclear fuel cycle.

Mr. Graber lives in Salem, Oregon with his wife Penny.
