WSU Nuclear Reactor offers reactor operator training program to students

Information session on Tuesday, September 6, starting at 7:15 p.m. in CUE 209.

The WSU Nuclear Radiation Center is currently accepting applications for the 2016-2017 Student Reactor Operator Training Program. In addition to conducting research and producing industrial isotopes, the WSU Nuclear Radiation Center offers a free Reactor Operator licensing program to students of all disciplines. Applicants must be currently enrolled at WSU and able to commit to three hours of class per week, as well as several hours of hands-on reactor operator training. The reactor staff is willing to work around individual student’s schedules to provide the best learning experience possible.

Students demonstrating successful completion of training will sit for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Reactor Operator licensing examination. Students must be willing to commit to a one year post license period to serve as a part-time Reactor Operator.
