No: IV-24-011 July 1, 2024 CONTACT: Victor Dricks , 817-200-1128 NRC Names New Resident Inspector at Arkansas Nuclear One

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has selected Erin Allen as the new resident inspector at Arkansas Nuclear One nuclear power plant in Russellville, Arkansas. The plant is operated by Entergy Operations.

I know that Erin will be an invaluable asset to the resident inspector office at Arkansas Nuclear One, said NRC Region IV Administrator John Monninger. She brings valuable experience from her time as a civilian instructor for the Navy and her enthusiasm and dedication will help ensure the continued safe operation of the plant.

Allen joined the NRC s Region IV office in November 2023 as a project engineer in the Resident Inspector Development Program. Before joining the NRC, Allen worked as a civilian instructor at the Navy s Nuclear Power Training Unit in Charleston, South Carolina. She holds a bachelors degree in nuclear engineering from Texas A&M University.

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

She will be joining senior resident inspector Brian Tindell and resident inspector Tim DeBey at the site. They serve as the agencys eyes and ears at the facility, conducting inspections, monitoring significant work projects, and interacting with plant workers and the public.
