Tips for Entry
Take a virtual tour of a power station, or research opportunities in your area to visit one in-person.
Become a high school, college, or professional member of the American Nuclear Society, attend one of its local events, or explore its Web site (https://www.ans.org) for more information on nuclear science and opportunities in the field.
Speak with your career services office about STEM programs, camps, and workshops in your area. The Technology Student Association may have a chapter in your region that sponsors local competitions and events.
If you are a more advanced student, you may want to read publications (e.g., Nuclear News, Nuclear Science and Engineering, Nuclear Technology) from the American Nuclear Society (https://www.ans.org/pubs).
