Deon Coleman is the newly promoted superintendent of chemistry. He started at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Port Gibson, Miss. 12 years ago as a co-op chemistry intern.

In this season of reflection and gratitude, we pause to give thanks for co-workers, friends and family. And sometimes those co-workers are our friends and family. Such is the case of Entergy’s Kristie Lowther and Rich Pierson, whose 25-year friendship means more than Christmas gifts—recently, it has meant the gift of life. 

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.
