The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has assigned Joseph Bashore as resident inspector at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. The plant, located 55 miles west of Phoenix, is operated by Arizona Public Service Co. “Joseph Bashore's technical and regulatory experience will assist the NRC in carrying out its mission of protecting people and the environment and ensuring the safe operation of nuclear power plants,” said NRC Region IV Administrator Elmo E. Collins. Bashore served in the U.S. Navy’s nuclear fleet and worked at three commercial nuclear plants before joining the NRC in 2006. He has a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from Washington State University. Each of the country's commercial nuclear plants has resident inspectors who serve as the agency's eyes and ears at the facility, conducting regular inspections, monitoring significant work projects and interacting with plant workers and the public. The resident inspectors at Palo Verde can be reached at: (623) 386-3638. |
