approximately 5 miles south of South Haven. The nuclear power facility is operated by Entergy Nuclear Operations.

Julie Boettcher is an excellent inspector with a firm commitment to safety. She will help the NRC fulfill its mission of protecting people and the environment by ensuring the Palisades plant operates at the high standards set by the NRC, said Region III Administrator Cynthia D. Pederson.

Boettcher joined the NRC Region III office in 2013 as a reactor engineer. She has a masters degree in Engineering Management from Old Dominion University and a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University. Boettcher also served in the U.S. Navy as a nuclear surface warfare officer.

Each commercial nuclear power plant site in the United States has at least two resident inspectors who monitor day-to-day operations at the plant. Boettcher joins NRC Senior Resident Inspector April Nguyen at the Palisades facility. The NRC resident inspectors can be reached at 269-764-8971.
