Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in Lisle, Illinois, have announced the assignment of Peter Snyder as the agency's resident inspector at the Byron Nuclear Power Plant in Byron, Illinois.

Snyder replaces Brian Kemker who had been the resident inspector at Byron since June 1998. Kemker recently accepted a position as the NRC's senior resident inspector at the D.C. Cook Nuclear Power Station near Bridgman, Michigan.

Snyder joined the NRC in August as a reactor engineer in the Lisle regional office. Prior to joining the NRC, he worked at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia, for 13 years, most recently as a shift refueling engineer.

Snyder earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Pennsylvania State University in 1988. Snyder, his wife and two children will live in Oregon, Illinois.

Snyder, who began his duties at Byron November 19, joins NRC Senior Resident Inspector Richard Skokowski at the plant. They can be reached at the plant by calling (815) 234-5451.
