NRC APPOINTS NEW RESIDENT INSPECTOR AT THE SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION Printable Version
Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in King of Prussia, Pa., have selected Frederick W. Jaxheimer as the new resident inspector at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station in Berwick, Pa. The two-unit site is operated by PPL. Mr. Jaxheimer joins Senior Resident Inspector Samuel Hansell and Resident Inspector John Richmond at the two-unit site. Resident inspectors may be assigned to a site for up to seven years. Mr. Jaxheimer joined the NRC in June 2001 as an inspector in the Region I Division of Reactor Safety. He has 16 years of experience in the nuclear industry, including various engineering positions at the Three Mile Island Generating Station in Middletown, Pa., and at GPU Nuclear in Parsippany, N.J. Mr. Jaxheimer earned a bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering from the Pennsylvania State University. Each U.S. commercial nuclear plant has at least two NRC resident inspectors.
