ACADEMICS: CAT Students Participate in Nuclear Blitz
On Friday, October 10th, the CAT students participated in the Nuclear Blitz! Three presenters, Mr. Grega, Mr. Felch, and Ms. Conwell from SCE&G's V.C. Summer Nuclear Power plant gave the students great exposure to the advantages of nuclear, how small a fuel pellet is, and the little waste created by generating nuclear power. Students were amazed that fuel pellets were as small as a tootsie roll. They also gave the students insight into the many career fields in nuclear from document control to human resource to operations management. In discussing various jobs, CAT students looked at whether a 2-year or 4-year degree would be necessary. They also were asked to draw an atom, which will be displayed in the foyer at V.C. Summer.
