Career
He is a Senior Research Analyst at the London-based World Nuclear Association, where he was previously Director of Public Information for over 12 years. Hore-Lacy has a Bachelor of Science with honours from the University of New England and a Master of Science from University of Melbourne.
Rio Tinto group
His career in resources and energy began in 1974 when he was employed by CRA (now Rio Tinto Group) as an environmental scientist. He took a particular interest in uranium mining and nuclear energy during the Ranger inquiry in the 1970s. Hore-Lacy continued to work for CRA until 1993, ultimately working in Corporate Relations. Hore-Lacy was closely involved with the production of the TV documentary series Out of the Fiery Furnace which was completed for ABC television in Australia in 1985 and was supported by the Rio Tinto group (via CRA Services Ltd). The series traced the discovery and use of metals, minerals, and energy resources through time, and premiered in the USA in 1986 and was shown in over twenty countries.
In 1995 Hore-Lacy assumed the role of General Manager of the Uranium Information Centre in Melbourne, a position he held until 2001. He also served as the organisation's secretary. The Centre's website was established in the year of his appointment.
Public policy
During the Howard Government, Hore-Lacy was appointed to the Uranium Industry Framework, whose recommendations informed subsequent government policy announced in 2007. The announcements included plans to repeal prohibitions which prevented further nuclear industrial development in Australia under the EPBC Act.
