Croon joins Resident Inspector Gwynne Eatmon at the site.

Croon joined the NRC in August 2011 as a project engineer in the Region II Division of Reactor Projects in Atlanta. Before taking this position at North Anna, he was a resident inspector at the Oconee Nuclear Station in South Carolina.

Prior to joining the NRC, Croon served nine years in the U.S. Air Force as a nuclear research officer and 12 years in the private sector conducting research, reactor safety analyses and plant systems engineering. Most recently, he served nine years with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, including two years as a resident engineer in Iraq supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Croon holds a bachelors degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Illinois and a masters degree in nuclear engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology. He also holds a law degree from the University of Louisville.

Greg Croon has the background and dedication to carry out the NRC mission of protecting people and the environment by helping to ensure the safety of the two units at North Anna, said NRC Region II Administrator Cathy Haney.

At least two NRC resident inspectors are assigned to each operating U.S. commercial nuclear power 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 a reactor site for up to seven years.

The North Anna resident inspectors can be reached at 540-894-5421.
