SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT NEAR CHATTANOOGA

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has appointed Cale

Young to the post of Senior Resident Inspector at the Sequoyah Nuclear

Plant near Chattanooga, Tenn..

Young joined the NRC as a reactor engineer in the NRCs

Region IV Office in Arlington, Texas, in January 2005. He later held the

positions of project engineer and resident inspector at Arkansas Nuclear

One near Russellville, Ark. Prior to joining the NRC, Young served in

the U.S. Navys nuclear submarine service for eight years, and also

served as a senior instructor on the U.S. Naval Academys mechanical

engineering department faculty. Young holds a bachelors degree in

marine engineering from the U.S. Naval Academy and a masters degree

in nuclear engineering from Texas A&M.

Cale Young is a talented and dedicated professional with a strong commitment to

safety, said Region II Administrator Luis Reyes. He will work hard to help ensure that

Sequoyah continues to meets the NRCs high standards.

Each U.S. commercial nuclear power plant site has at least two NRC resident inspectors,

and three of the NRC-regulated fuel cycle facilities in the U.S. have at least one resident

inspector. They serve as the agencys eyes and ears at the facility, conducting inspections,

monitoring major work projects and interacting with plant workers and the public.

The Sequoyah Nuclear Plant senior resident inspector can be reached at (423) 842-8001.
