NRC ASSIGNS NEW SR. RESIDENT INSPECTOR TO TMI NUCLEAR PLANT

Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in King of Prussia, Pa., have assigned Daniel Orr as the Senior Resident Inspector at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. He joins Resident Inspector Craig Smith at the Middletown, Pa., plant.

Orr joined the NRC as a reactor engineer in the Region I office in February 1997. He was then assigned as a resident inspector at the Hope Creek nuclear plant in New Jersey. Prior to joining the Agency, Orr worked as a senior reactor operator at the Dresden nuclear plant in Illinois. He also served in the United States Navy as a submarine officer.

Orr earned a bachelor's of science degree in electronic engineering from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo.

Each U.S. commercial nuclear power plant has at least two NRC resident inspectors. They serve as the agency's eyes and ears at the facility, conducting regular inspections, monitoring significant work projects and interfacing with plant workers and the public.

The Three Mile Island resident inspectors can be reached at 717/948-1165.
