“In addition to a tour of the facility, the Alabama A&M team had opportunities to interact with NRC’s training and inspection staff members and learn about exciting internship and employment opportunities,” says Dr. Mebougna Drabo.

The tour included a demonstration of the inspection systems, technology, instruments, and the Reactor Simulator and Control Room. Finally, internship and employment opportunities and the benefits were discussed, followed by Q&A.
