The two-unit site is operated by FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company.

Stacey Horvitzs experience, training and commitment to safety will help the NRC fulfill its mission of protecting people and the environment by ensuring Beaver Valley meets the high standards set by the NRC, said Region I Administrator Dan Dorman.

Horvitz joins Senior Resident Inspector Jim Krafty at Beaver Valley. 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. They serve as the agencys eyes and ears at the facility, conducting inspections, monitoring significant work projects, and interacting with plant workers and the public.
