He joins NRC Senior Resident Inspector Jo Ambrosini and Resident Inspector Louis McKown at the two-unit site operated by Dominion Nuclear.

Chris Highley has the experience, training and commitment to safety that will help the NRC in carrying out its mission of protecting people and the environment and ensuring the safe operation of the Millstone units," said NRC Region I Administrator Dan Dorman.

Highley joined the NRC in November 2014 as a project engineer in the Region I Office. He retired from the U.S. Navy as a Nuclear Surface Warfare Officer after 25 years of service. He holds a bachelors degree in chemistry with a minor in math and physics from the University of Arizona.
