Diane Screnci 610/337-5330 Email: OPA1.RESOURCE@nrc.gov Neil Sheehan 610/337-5331 NRC ASSIGNS NEW RESIDENT INSPECTOR TO SUSQUEHANNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT Jonathan Greives has been selected as the new Nuclear Regulatory Commission resident inspector at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station in Berwick, Pa. He joins NRC Senior Resident Inspector Pat Finney at the two-unit site, operated by PPL.

Jon Greives experience, training and commitment to safety will help the NRC in its mission of protecting people and the environment by helping ensure that Susquehanna continues to meet the high standards set by the agency, acting NRC Region I Administrator Marc L. Dapas said.

Greives joined the NRC in June 2009 after serving seven years in the United States Navys nuclear power program. During his naval service, he was a staff instructor at the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command and served aboard the USS Wyoming, a nuclear submarine.

He is now a lieutenant in the Navy Reserve.

Greives is a graduate of Bucknell University where he earned a bachelors degree in electrical engineering. He also completed the Navys nuclear power training program and a rigorous NRC inspector qualification program.

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 Susquehanna resident inspectors can be reached at (570) 542-2134.
