NRC NAMES NEW RESIDENT INSPECTOR AT RIVER BEND STATION Printable Version
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has assigned Charles Norton as resident inspector at the River Bend Station, located near St. Francisville, La. He joins senior resident Grant Larkins at the plant, which is operated by Entergy Operations, Inc. “Charles Norton’s experience, technical expertise and commitment to safety will help the NRC in carrying out its mission of protecting people and the environment and ensuring the safe operation of River Bend,” said NRC Region IV Administrator Elmo E. Collins. Norton served in the U.S. Navy, and worked in the commercial nuclear industry before joining the NRC in 2007. He has a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue University and a MBA from St. Ambrose 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 River Bend Station can be reached at: (225) 635-3193.
