SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT NEAR CHATTANOOGA
Printable Version

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has appointed Cale Young to the post of Senior Resident Inspector at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant near Chattanooga, Tenn.

Young joined the NRC as a reactor engineer in the NRC’s Region IV Office in Arlington, Texas, in January 2005. He later held the positions of project engineer and resident inspector at Arkansas Nuclear One near Russellville, Ark. Prior to joining the NRC, Young served in the U.S. Navy’s nuclear submarine service for eight years, and also served as a senior instructor on the U.S. Naval Academy’s mechanical engineering department faculty. Young holds a bachelor’s degree in marine engineering from the U.S. Naval Academy and a master’s degree in nuclear engineering from Texas A&M.

"Cale Young is a talented and dedicated professional with a strong commitment to safety," said Region II Administrator Luis Reyes. "He will work hard to help ensure that Sequoyah continues to meets the NRC’s high standards."

Each U.S. commercial nuclear power plant site has at least two NRC resident inspectors, and three of the NRC-regulated fuel cycle facilities in the U.S. have at least one resident inspector. 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 Sequoyah Nuclear Plant senior resident inspector can be reached at (423) 842-8001.
