Meet the pros: Ashley Melder

Today, we recognize a member of a team that perhaps goes unnoticed until needed, that is, when a physical exam is required or medical qualifications need updating, or just when a nagging cough needs some extra attention. In addition, they work in the access organization, responsible for screening, testing and authorizing access to our nuclear facilities. As part of that group, they help administer the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Fitness for Duty program, which ensures that our workers are always fit to operate and maintain the plants.

Meet the pros: Cesar Garcia

Cesar Garcia began his Entergy career in 2006 as a nuclear engineering graduate from Texas A&M. Starting as a reactor engineer at Waterford 3 Nuclear Generating Station in Killona, La., he soon progressed to licensed class where he advanced to senior reactor operator and worked in operations for several years. After a brief stretch with another company, Cesar returned to Entergy in 2018, this time as supervisor in the reactor fuels program at Echelon, Entergy Nuclear’s headquarters in Jackson, Miss.
