NEW INSPECTOR NAMED AT VERMONT YANKEE
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission Officials in King of Prussia, Pa., have appointed Beth E.

Sienel joined the NRC in 1990, and was a Reactor Engineer Intern in the Regional Office in
King of Prussia, Pa. As an intern, she completed several assignments in Region I and in the Office of
