Chad Stott, who joined the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board on Monday, has been named resident inspector at the Pantex Plant in Panhandle, Texas.

As a resident inspector at Pantex, Stott will advise the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB) on overall safety conditions at the National Nuclear Security Administration’s central nuclear-weapons maintenance facility and participate in technical reviews by the board and staff related to design, construction, operation and decommissioning of defense nuclear facilities. 

Stott will also act as a formal go-between for the DNFSB and plant management, state and local agencies, the public and industry officials, the board said in a statement announcing Stott’s assignment.

Stott joins the Board after working at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as a resident inspector and a regional engineering inspector.
