NRC NEWS UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS, REGION II 61 Forsyth Street SW, Atlanta GA 30303 Web Site: www.nrc.gov No. II-05-028 June 2, 2005 CONTACT: Ken Clark (404)562-4416 E-mail: OPA2@nrc.gov Roger Hannah (404)562-4417 NRC NAMES STEWART NEW SENIOR RESIDENT INSPECTOR AT TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT IN FLORIDA U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in the Region II office in Atlanta have assigned James Scott Stewart as the Senior Resident Inspector at the Turkey Point nuclear power plant near Homestead, Fla., south of Miami. For the past five years, Stewart had been the Senior Resident Inspector at the Crystal River nuclear plant near Crystal River on the west coast of Florida.

Before his assignment at Crystal River, Stewart was the Senior Resident Inspector at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant in Maryland. He began his NRC career in 1987 as the resident inspector at the Kewaunee nuclear plant in Wisconsin after working as a Senior Nuclear Plant Engineer for Westinghouse at the Naval Reactor Facility in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Stewart has a B.A. degree from St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa., and a M.S. degree from Purdue University in Indiana.

Each U.S. commercial nuclear power plant has at least two NRC resident inspectors. They serve as the agency's eyes and ears at the facility, conducting regular inspections, monitoring significant work projects and interfacing with plant workers and the public.

The NRC staff at the Turkey Point plant can be reached by calling 305-245-7669.
