Dave Gasperson 404-997-4417 NRC Names New Resident Inspector at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant

Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in Atlanta have named Kevin Pfeil as the agencys new resident inspector at the Browns Ferry nuclear power plant in Athens, Alabama. He joins NRC Senior Resident Inspector Jeffery Steward and Resident Inspector Nick Karlovich at the three-unit site operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Pfeil joined the NRC in 2021 as a project engineer in the Resident Inspector Development Program in the Region II office in Atlanta. Prior to the NRC, he worked for seven years as a nuclear engineer at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington, where he helped maintain several aircraft carriers in Washington, San Diego, Norfolk, and Japan.

Kevin joins a distinguished group of NRC inspectors who have graduated from one of our nation s five service academies. He brings the exemplary character of U.S. Merchant Marine Academy graduates and real-world experience working on the U.S. Navys nuclear aircraft carriers to his new role at Browns Ferry, said NRC Region II Administrator Laura Dudes.

Pfeil graduated with a bachelors degree in systems engineering with a concentration in nuclear engineering from the United States Merchant Marine Academy.

The NRC assigns at least two resident inspectors to each operating U.S. commercial nuclear power plant. They serve as the agency s eyes and ears at the facility, conducting regular inspections, monitoring plant operations, major work projects and interacting with plant workers and the public.
