Printable Version

Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in King of Prussia, Pa., have selected Alan J. Blamey as the NRC senior resident inspector at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. He joins NRC Resident Inspector Frederick Jaxheimer at the two-unit site, in Berwick, Pa. Blamey replaces Sam Hansell who was reassigned as the senior resident inspector at the Limerick Generating Station in Sanatoga, Pa.

“Alan Blamey’s experience coupled with his commitment to safety will help the NRC in its mission to ensure that Susquehanna continues to meet the high standards we insist upon for reactor operation in the United States,” said Region I Administrator Samuel J. Collins.

Blamey first joined the NRC in September 1997 as a reactor engineer in the Region I Office. He was assigned as an NRC resident inspector at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station in July 1998. In June 2001, he was promoted to senior operations engineer in the Regional Office.

Prior to joining the NRC, Blamey worked as a technical engineer and NRC-licensed senior reactor operator at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, located near Moline, Ill. He held various leadership positions in engineering and operations during his thirteen years with Commonwealth Edison.

Blamey is a graduate of Pennsylvania State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering with a minor in mathematics.

Each U.S. commercial nuclear plant has at least two NRC resident inspectors. They serve as the agency's eyes and ears at the facility, conducting inspections, monitoring major work projects and interacting with plant workers and the public. The Susquehanna resident inspectors can be reached at 570/542-2134.
