Engineer students from Simpson County Technical Center visited the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Port Gibson to learn about the benefits of nuclear power and careers in the energy industry. During the visit to Grand Gulf, students attended presentations and participated in activities that taught them about the jobs they could find in the energy industry. They toured the control room simulator, learned about protecting the public from radiation exposure, tried tools linemen workers use to fix power lines, did a chemistry activity, and saw what a day in the life of a nuclear security officer is like. Students said, “This trip is amazing! I learned how electricity is made”. I would love to work here, the salaries here are unbelievable!” “Mr. Wallace, thank you so much for bringing us, this is the best trip of my life”. Robert Wallace Jr. is the Instructor for our Engineer Program.
