A group of 24 high school students participated in the two-week Nuclear Science and Technology program conducted this summer by the Department of Nuclear Engineering at North Carolina State University.

Students from across the country attended lectures, visited laboratories and participated in research projects conducted by nuclear engineering faculty, technical staff and graduate students.

Additionally, students learned about the department's PULSTAR reactor, Scaled Pressurized Water Reactor Facility, Neutron Activation Laboratory and Plasma/Fusion Facilities.

Supported by CP&L, Duke Power, Virginia Power and American Nuclear Society NEED Committee, the program ran July 13-25. The annual camp is open to rising seniors who demonstrate an aptitude for science and engineering and rising juniors who have taken advanced science and math courses.
