Special Events - Summarizing what we do

Nuclear Day - Blackhawk High School

January 21, 2016

During the Nuclear Day experience representatives from First Energy introduce nuclear power to the students and staff at Blackhawk High School. This serves as an introduction to nuclear energy and provides a first hand experience of what it is like to work there. During this day students are presented with the issues they must solve and some background information to guide the process. Another obstacle this day was to build a working turbine from common office materials. 

Field Experience - Power Station Tour

March 11, 2016

During this experience students tour the factility and experience real training exercises from maintanence, radiation, to what it takes to run the plants control room. The site tour gives the students a first hand look to the how a plant operates and the behind the scenes personel that keep it safe and operational.

Presentations - Problems Solved

April 11, 2016

This is the culmination of the complete experience. Students serve as consultants to the company and offer solutions to issues facing the industry. For this experience students tackled social perspectives of a Nuclear Power Station being built in your backyard, promotional nuclear power posters, 3D powerstation and turbine models, cost analysis of building and operating various power stations, and measuring acceptable environmental release limits of radioactive nuclides. WOW - That is quite a bit to explain let alone provide solutions. You will be impressed by the accomplishments of our students!
