Summer Intern
I was a intern for a total of ten weeks, and spent five of those in the engineering department, and another five weeks in operations. During my time in engineering I worked with testing and programs where I helped with the Erosion and Flow Accelerated Corosion Program. Additionally, in this department I was a part of NDE testing on plant components.

In this time I learned how a pressurized water reactor works. In total, the biggest take away from my time at STP is how to be a nuclear professional and to always prioritize safety. Show less
