He joins Senior Resident Inspector Jo Ambrosini and Resident Inspector Brian Haagensen at the plant, which is operated by Dominion Nuclear Connecticut Inc.

McKown joined the NRC in 2013 and has been working as a project engineer in the Region I office. Prior to joining the agency, McKown worked as a senior systems engineer at the Nine Mile Point nuclear plant, specializing in reactivity controls and emergency core cooling systems. He served in the U.S. Navy for six years, where he was a nuclear reactor operator.

He earned a bachelors degree with highest distinction in mechanical engineering from the University of Kansas.

Lou McKown has the training, experience and commitment to safety that will help the NRC carry out its mission of protecting people and the environment by helping ensure the safe operations of the Millstone units, said NRC Region I Administrator Bill Dean.
