U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in the Region II office in Atlanta have assigned Daniel (Dan) Rich as the Senior Resident Inspector at the Oconee nuclear power plant in upstate South Carolina.

Rich joined the NRC as a Reactor Engineer in the Division of Reactor Projects in Region III in June 1996. In February 1997, he was assigned as the Resident Inspector at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant in Spring City, Tenn. In December, 2001, he was assigned as the Senior Resident Inspector at Nuclear Fuel Services in Erwin, Tenn.

Prior to joining the NRC, Rich was a U.S. Navy officer and served on the submarines USS Houston, USS Salt Lake City, and USS Casimir Pulaski.

Rich earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering at California Polytechnic State University.

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.

Rich joins Resident Inspectors Andy Hutto and Eric Riggs and Secretary Mary Jordan at the Oconee Nuclear Station. The NRC staff at Oconee can be reached by calling 864-882-6927.
