The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has selected Thomas Hartman as the new Resident Inspector at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Perry, Ohio, roughly 35 miles northeast of Cleveland.
Hartman joined the NRC in Region III as a reactor engineer in 2009. Prior to joining the agency, he served more than six years in the U.S. Navy as a Machinist Mate aboard the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson. Hartman graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a bachelor’s of science degree in nuclear engineering.
“Thomas Hartman is an excellent inspector with a firm commitment to safety. He will help the NRC fulfill its mission of protecting people and the environment by helping ensure the Perry plant operates at the high standards set by the NRC,” Region III Administrator Mark Satorius said.
Each U.S. commercial nuclear plant site 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. Hartman joins Senior Resident Inspector Mark Marshfield at the plant. Both can be reached at (440) 259-3610.
