NRC ASSIGNS NEW SENIOR RESIDENT INSPECTOR TO HOPE CREEK NUCLEAR PLANT Printable Version
Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in the Region I office in King of Prussia have selected George J. Malone as the senior resident inspector at the Hope Creek nuclear power plant. Hope Creek is in Hancocks Bridge, N.J. For the past two years, Malone has been a resident inspector at Salem Units 1 and 2. He joined the NRC in March 2002 as an operations engineer in the Region I Division of Reactor Safety. Prior to joining the agency, he worked as an engineer at Bechtel-Bettis, Inc., in Charleston, S.C. He has a master’s and a bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Illinois. "George Malone has the experience and commitment to safety that will help the NRC ensure that Hope Creek conducts operations with the highest safety standards to protect public health and safety," said NRC Region I Administrator Samuel J. Collins. 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 interacting with plant workers and the public. The Hope Creek residents can be reached at 856/935-5373.
