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 and monitoring plant operations. The resident inspectors can be assigned to any one site for a total of about seven years.

"Both Hunegs and Cline have the experience and commitment to safety that will help the NRC ensure that Nine Mile Point and FitzPatrick conduct operations with the highest safety standards to protect the public health and safety," said NRC Region I Administrator Samuel J. Collins.

Hunegs joined the NRC’s Region II office in Atlanta in 1986 as a project engineer. He has been assigned as a resident inspector at Indian Point 3 in Buchanan, N.Y., and as a senior resident inspector at Indian Point 2 and FitzPatrick. Most recently, he was senior resident inspector at Nine Mile Point. Hunegs served in the United States Navy for seven years. He is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.

Cline joined the NRC in 1999 as a reactor engineer in the Region I office in King of Prussia. He was then assigned as a reactor inspector in the performance evaluation branch in the Region’s Division of Reactor Safety. He was a resident inspector at the Calvert Cliffs site in Lusby, Md. Prior to his assignment to Nine Mile Point, Cline was the senior resident inspector at FitzPatrick. Before joining the NRC, he was an officer in the United States Navy, where he completed the Navy’s nuclear training program. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Pennsylvania State University.
