NRC NAMES NEW RESIDENT INSPECTOR AT LIMERICK NUCLEAR PLANT
Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in King of Prussia, Pa., have
selected Justin Hawkins as the resident inspector for Exelons Limerick
nuclear power plant, in Limerick, Pa. Hawkins joins NRC senior resident
inspector Gene DiPaolo at the two-unit site.
Hawkins joined the NRC in August 2007 as a reactor engineer. He
successfully completed an extensive inspector qualification program. Most
recently, he was a project engineer and reactor inspector in the Region I
Division of Reactor Projects. He has served as an acting resident inspector at a number of
Region I plants, including Limerick, Hope Creek and Calvert Cliffs.
Hawkins joined the NRC after serving in the United States Navy aboard fast-attack
submarines for six years. He earned a bachelors degree in civil engineering from the United
States Naval Academy and a masters in nuclear engineering business management at Old
Dominion University.
Justin Hawkins has the experience and commitment to carry out the NRC mission of
protecting people and the environment, and to help ensure the safe operation of the Limerick
units, said NRC Region I Administrator Bill Dean.
At least two NRC resident inspectors are assigned to each U.S. commercial nuclear plant.
They serve as the agency's eyes and ears at the facility, conducting inspections, monitoring major
work projects and interacting with plant workers and the public. Resident inspectors can serve at
one site for up to seven years.
The Limerick resident inspectors can be reached at 610-327-1344.
