The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has selected Courtney St.
Peters as the new resident inspector at the Palisades nuclear power plant in
Covert, Mich. The plant is operated by Entergy Nuclear Operations Inc.
St. Peters started with the NRC in 2010 as part of the Co-Operative
Education Program for students. Upon graduation, she joined the Nuclear
Safety Professional Development Program, which is now the Nuclear
Regulator Apprenticeship Network. She worked as a project manager in the
Division of Advanced Reactors and Rulemaking and later as a reliability and
risk analyst with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. In 2018, she
transferred to Region III as a reactor engineer.
St. Peters earned a bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering from Missouri University of
Science and Technology.
Each commercial nuclear power plant site in the United States has at least two resident
inspectors who monitor day-to-day operations at the plant. They serve as the agency’s eyes and ears at
the facility, conducting inspections and monitoring significant work projects.
St. Peters joins NRC Senior Resident Inspector Paul LaFlamme at the Palisades facility. The
Palisades resident inspectors can be reached at (630) 829-9990.
