NRC Names New Senior Resident Inspector at Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Plant

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has selected Gwynne Eatmon as the new senior resident inspector at the Beaver Valley nuclear power plant in Shippingport, Pa.

Eatmon joined the NRC in 2011 as a reactor inspector as part of the agency’s Nuclear Safety Professional Development Program in the Region IV Office in Arlington, Texas. Upon completion of the program, she worked as a reactor inspector in the Region IV Division of Reactor Safety, conducting inspections at operating nuclear power plants.

In 2014, she began serving as the resident inspector at the North Anna nuclear power plant near Mineral, Va. More recently, she was the acting senior resident inspector at the Vogtle nuclear power plant near Augusta, Ga.

Eatmon holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering from New Mexico State University.

Each U.S. commercial nuclear power plant has at least two NRC resident inspectors, who serve as the agency’s eyes and ears at the facility, conducting inspections, monitoring significant work projects and interacting with plant workers and the public.
