NRC NAMES NEW SENIOR RESIDENT INSPECTOR
AT COMANCHE PEAK NUCLEAR PLANT
The U.S.Nuclear Regulatory Commission has assigned John
Kramer as senior resident inspector at the Comanche Peak nuclear plant,
located near Glen Rose, Texas. He joins resident inspector Brian Tindell
at the plant, which is operated by Luminant Generation Co.
“John Kramer’s experience, technical expertise and commitment
to safety will help the NRC in carrying out its mission of protecting
people and the environment and ensuring the safe operation of Comanche
Peak,” said NRC Region IV Administrator Elmo E. Collins.
Kramer joined the NRC in 1992 and has served as a senior resident inspector at the Fort
Calhoun Station in Nebraska and as a resident inspector at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating
Station in Arizona and at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in California. In addition,
he has served as a senior reactor analyst at NRC headquarters in Rockville, Md., and was a senior
reactor operator at the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant in Florida. He holds a B.S. degree in
engineering from the University of Minnesota.
Each of the country's commercial nuclear plants has resident inspectors who serve as the
agency's eyes and ears at the facility, conducting regular inspections, monitoring significant work
projects and interacting with plant workers and the public.
The resident inspectors at Comanche Peak can be reached at: (254) 897-1500.
