Christmas in July donations surpass goals; employees’ generous spirit shines bright

The third year of Christmas in July wrapped up this fall, with totals topping organizers’ expectations. This year, the charitable campaign extended beyond Entergy nuclear to include all of the company.

Think Clean. Think Solutions. Think Nuclear.

This week we celebrate achievements across the nuclear energy industry and at Entergy, as we recognize the vital role nuclear professionals play in powering our communities with clean, carbon-free electricity. This is only achieved because of their relentless focus on operating our plants safely, securely and reliably.

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.

As Grand Gulf nears 40 years of operation, Davis shares her personal 40-year perspective

Many of us view Grand Gulf construction days through hazy pictures on the wall, but Linda Davis recalls them clearly with a first-person point of view. That’s because long before we were pumping megawatts, Linda was serving our site.

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.
