NRC NAMES NEW RESIDENT INSPECTOR
AT PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in Lisle, Illinois, have announced the assignment of John Ellegood as the agency's Resident Inspector at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Perry, Ohio. The plant is operated by the FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company.

Ellegood replaces Renee Vogt-Lowell who had been the Resident Inspector at Perry since August 1999. Vogt-Lowell accepted a trainer's position at the NRC's Technical Training Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Ellegood, who began his duties at the Perry plant in mid-August, joined the NRC in mid-June as a reactor engineer in the Lisle regional office. Prior to working for the NRC, Ellegood was an engineer for Kaiser-Hill L.L.C. in Golden, Colorado, at the Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site. He also served in the U.S. Navy for over five years.

Ellegood earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and a master's degree from the University of Colorado-Boulder in engineering management. Ellegood, his wife, and two children live in Perry, Ohio.

Ellegood joins Acting Senior Resident Inspector Steve Sanchez at the Perry plant. They can be reached at (440) 259-3610.
