Resident inspector named for Dresden Nuclear Plant
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission appoints Jimmy Barker as resident inspector at Commonwealth Edison Dresden Nuclear Power Station for about three years. NRC official Gen Roy said inspectors will be placed at all operating plants by 1982, with on site presence improving oversight during refueling and routine operation. Barker, with a nuclear engineering degree and Navy submarine service, will work to ensure license compliance, monitoring control room activities, emergency equipment, security, cleanliness and fire safety while staying in touch with Glen Ellyn experts. The NRC emphasizes public access to inspection results and enforcement records, noting Dresden’s license runs for 40 years from construction and that decommissioning plans depend on future finances and DOE disposal site progress.
