June 20, 2012 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials in At- lanta have selected Chad Huffman, a native of Kings Mountain, as a resident in- spector for the construction of Vogtle nuclear plant Units 3 and 4, located near Way- nesboro, Ga. In February, the Nuclear Regulatory Com- mission (NRC) issued com- bined operating licenses for the new units to Southern Nuclear Operating Co., which operates the existing Vogtle units. Chad Huffman began his NRC career in 2005 as a re- actor risk engineer in the Of- fice of Nuclear Reactor Research at NRC Headquar- ters in Rockville, Md. In 2011, Huffman joined the NRC's resident inspector de- velopment program in Re- gion II's Center for Construction Inspection in Atlanta. During his time in Region II, Huffman participated in construction inspections at Watts Bar Unit 2 in Ten- nessee as well as at Vogtle Units 3 and 4. Prior to joining the NRC, Huffman worked as an engi- neer at a nuclear utility and also held various positions in residential and commercial construction. He received his bachelor of science and master’s de- grees in nuclear engineering from North Carolina State - University in Raleigh. Huffman joins Senior Resident Inspector Justin Fuller and Resident Inspec- tor Coleman Abbott at the Vogtle nuclear construction site. “Chad Huffman has the knowledge and experience to help ensure that construc- tion is completed according to NRC regulations and in a way that protects people and the environment,” said NRC Region II Deputy Regional Administrator for Construc- tion Fred Brown. Each operating U.S. com- mercial nuclear power plant site has at least two NRC The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.net KM’s Huffman named Inspector for nuclear plant Chad Huffman resident inspectors. They serve as the agency’s eyes and ears at the facility, con- ducting regular inspections, monitoring significant work projects, and interacting with plant workers and the public. Inspectors can serve for up to seven years at any one site. Construction sites have their own NRC resident in- spectors and the number as- signed will be dependent on the work being done at each site.

SENIOR TE and much more! sme Ultimate Page 3C Sotelo: a new way to run From page 1C “Everyone can do it, it just takes time to get a little faster with it,” Sotelo said. “A year ago I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t even make it around the track at the Y without sitting down.” Fast forward to April 21 this year. His life-long goal was to finish a full 26.2 mile marathon. That dream had shattered when his knees went south on him. He was convinced that he could fin- ish the marathon with his new running technique. “I didn’t get a lot of en- couragement, I was 60 with bad knees and had never run further than a 10K,” Sotelo said. Sir He finished the full 26.2 mile marathon using his new method. Next day he was walking fine, no knee pain, no damage. To celebrate the occasion Sotelo added a 26.2 tattoo below his Triathlon tattoo. He relates his experience to that of a bumble bee: It is . aerodynamically impossible for the Bumble Bee to fly - due to its huge body and tiny wings but he can fly because he doesn’t know that he can’t. He hopes to inspire those who have knee problems or fear developing knee prob- lems or think they are too old to learn his new running | Blueberries... ing. use them as soon as possible. Blueberries have been present for centuries. According to Native American tribes, they believed the calyx, the blossom end of each berry forms the shape of a per- fect five-pointed star; tribe elders would tell of how the Great Spirit sent “star berries” to relieve chil- dren’s hunger during famine. Blueberries are harvested from mid-April to early October. Peak harvest is in July. Blueberries are ripe when they are purchased. They do not continue to ripen after harvest. Avoid buying watery, moldy, or soft berries. The fruit is past its prime if the containers are stained or leak- Store them in the refrigerator. Keep them unwashed, as they deteriorate quickly when wet. Fresh picked blue- berries should last up to two weeks. They perish quickly, so Sotelo added this tatoo on his arm after he finished a 26.2 mile marathon. technique to know there is hope. With Low Impact Run- ning, Sotelo has the feel of conventional running and the benefits of an exercise pro- gram. “If I can do a marathon and not have problems then somebody else may want to find out how to do this and I want to show them,” he says. And Sotelo isn’t into competition. He’s given his time to teach classes. He wants to run better than he did the last time. He is proof positive that nothing is impossible, whether a person’s dream is just to start exercising or maybe run a marathon.
