The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has assigned John Hanna as senior resident inspector at Fort Calhoun Station, a nuclear power plant near Fort Calhoun, Neb. He joins Leonard Willoughby, the resident inspector at the plant.

“John Hannah’s extensive experience and commitment to safety will aid the NRC in oversight of the licensee as part of our assurance that Fort Calhoun Station operates in a manner so as to protect public health and safety,” said NRC Region IV Administrator Bruce S. Mallett.

Hanna graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a bachelor of science degree in engineering in 1990. Following graduation he worked for the U.S. Navy as a shift test engineer at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard.

In 1997, Hanna joined the NRC at the Region IV office in Arlington, Texas, as a reactor engineer.

He has also served as acting senior resident inspector at River Bend Station, in St. Francisville, La., and at Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, near Miami, Fla.

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 Fort Calhoun can be reached at (402) 426-9611.
