Printable Version

The U.S Nuclear Regulatory Commission has selected Billy Dickson as the new Senior Resident Inspector and Alex Garmoe as the new Resident Inspector at the Braidwood Nuclear Power Plant in Braidwood, Ill.

Dickson joined the NRC as a reactor engineer in Region III in 1996. Most recently he was the senior resident inspector at the Clinton nuclear power plant for five years. He also worked as a resident inspector at Dresden nuclear power plant.

Prior to joining the agency, Dickson worked as a nuclear engineer for firms in the Washington, D.C., area. He received a bachelor’s of science in nuclear engineering from Mississippi State University.

Garmoe joined the NRC as a reactor engineer in Region III in June 2004. Most recently he was the acting resident inspector at the Braidwood nuclear power plant. Garmoe graduated from Purdue University with a bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering.

"Billy Dickson and Alex Garmoe are a strong team to have at Braidwood. They are excellent inspectors with a firm commitment to safety. They will ensure that the NRC fulfills its mission of protecting people and the environment by ensuring operators of the Braidwood plant meet the high standards set by the NRC,” Region III Administrator James Caldwell said.

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

The Braidwood resident inspectors can be reached at (815) 458-2852.
