Printable Version

Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in King of Prussia, Pa., have selected Brian D. Wittick as the new resident inspector at the Indian Point 3 nuclear power plant in Buchanan, N.Y.

Entergy Northeast operates both Indian Point 2 and 3. The NRC has two inspectors assigned to each unit. Wittick joins Senior Resident Inspector Tom Hipschman at Unit 3. He replaces Robert Berryman, who was selected for a position in the NRC Region II office in Atlanta.

"Brian Wittick’s experience and commitment to safety will help the NRC ensure that Indian Point 3 conducts operations with the highest safety standards to protect the public health and safety," said NRC Region I Administrator Samuel J. Collins.

Wittick joined the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in September as a reactor engineer in the Division of Reactor Safety. Previously, he served in the United States Navy for 21 years. He earned a bachelor’s degree in systems engineering from the United States Naval Academy; a master’s in acoustical engineering from The Pennsylvania State University, and a master of business administration from National University in San Diego.

Each U.S. commercial nuclear power plant has at least two NRC resident inspectors. They serve as the agency's eyes and ears at the facility, conducting regular inspections and monitoring significant work projects.

The Indian Point 3 resident inspectors can be reached at 914/739-8565.
