The Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued the following news release:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has selected Chris Henderson as the new resident inspector at the Cooper Nuclear plant located 23 miles south of Nebraska City, Neb.
"Chris Henderson's background and experience will assist the NRC in carrying out its mission of protecting people and the environment and ensuring the safe operation of nuclear power plants," said NRC Region IV Administrator Elmo E. Collins.
Henderson joined the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in February 2010 as a Reactor Operations Engineer in the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. He worked in the Division of Inspection Regional Support where he qualified as Reactor Oversight Process Engineer. In June, Henderson was selected to be a participant in the Resident Inspector Development Program in Region IV where he worked as a Project Engineer in the Division of Reactor Projects.
Prior to joining the NRC, Henderson served in the U.S. Navy aboard the Los Angeles class attack submarine USS Annapolis, based in Groton, Conn., and at Commander Submarine Group Seven in Yokosuka, Japan. Henderson holds both a master's degree in Nuclear Engineering and a bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering from Kansas State University.
Each U.S. commercial nuclear power plant site has at least two NRC resident inspectors.
Henderson joins senior resident inspector Jeff Josey. They serve as the agency's eyes and ears at the facility, conducting inspections and monitoring significant work projects.
