Diane Screnci, 610/337-5330 Email: opa1@nrc.gov Neil Sheehan, 610/337-5331 NEW NRC RESIDENT INSPECTOR ASSIGNED TO LIMERICK NUCLEAR PLANT Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in King of Prussia, Pa., have assigned Carey Colantoni as the new resident inspector at the Limerick nuclear power plant in Limerick, Pa. She joins NRC Senior Resident Inspector Samuel Hansell at the two-unit site operated by Exelon Nuclear.

Carey Colantonis experience and commitment to safety will help the NRC ensure that Limerick conducts operations with the highest safety standards to protect the public health and safety, said NRC Region I Administrator Samuel J. Collins.

Ms. Colantoni joined the NRC in 2002 as a reactor inspector in the Regional Office. Prior to joining the agency, she worked for Bechtel-Bettis in Charleston, SC., at the Naval Nuclear Power Training Unit.

Ms. Colantoni is a graduate of Pennsylvania State University, where she earned a bachelors degree in chemical engineering. She also completed the U.S. Navys nuclear power school.

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

The Limerick resident inspectors can be reached at 610/327-1344.
