The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has named a new resident inspector for the Cook nuclear power plant in Bridgman. The NRC says Paul Zurawski will serve in the post. He joined the NRC in 2006 as a Region III reactor engineer, and has since been a senior resident inspector at the Monticello nuclear in Minnesota, and a resident inspector at the Prairie Island plant, also in Minnesota. Prior to those NRC jobs, Zurawski worked in the private nuclear industry overseeing activities like steam generator replacements and dry fuel storage projects. Each commercial nuclear power plant in the United States has at least two resident inspectors who monitor day-to-day operations. Zurawski joins NRC resident inspector Joe Mancuso at the D.C. Cook facility. Together, they’ll will serve as the NRC’s eyes and ears, conducting inspections and monitoring projects.
