The other side of the rainbow: Hannah Hay

March 31, 2009 – 9:00 am

For each secondment we commit 10% of our time to corporate social responsibility work. At the moment I’ve been working in schools as a Science & Engineering Ambassador… but if anyone had told me a few months ago that I would be teaching science classes to seven to nine year olds… well, I would have [...]

Starting: Hannah Hay

March 30, 2009 – 3:09 pm

I started, like all the new graduates, with a three week training course. This helped familiarise me with the industry and get to know the other graduates. We did a lot in that time. Met important people in the industry, went on an exciting out-of-bounds course (this included climbing up very high poles), we played [...]

Applying: Hannah Hay

March 27, 2009 – 9:00 am

When I applied for nucleargraduates it looked like it had everything I wanted. It was interesting, it had industry wide experiences, it offered the chance to travel. And of course it had good pay. Luckily, it has really lived up to that promise. I joined the scheme after graduating from the University of Leeds with [...]

Land Quality: Fleur Geoghegan

My first secondment as a nucleargraduate was within the Waste and Nuclear Materials Department (more specifically working within the Land Quality Team) at the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
Having come from an academic environment it was an enjoyable challenge to adapt and familiarise myself to the business environment.
I have been involved in the review of the NDA [...]

I am currently three months into a secondment managing the combined heat and power plant boiler water treatment at the Springfields reprocessing plant in Warrington.
The treatment of water in high energy systems, such as steam boilers, is very important in terms of safety, operational efficiency as well as the sites ability to operate.
At the moment, [...]

Doing my homework: Craig Morrow

March 25, 2009 – 12:00 pm

I ran a project with the South Workington Partnership that helped under privileged school children in this area.
These children had a standard of performance that was well below the national average.
Teachers at these schools believed that a reason for this may have been that the children had ‘no equipment’ to do their homework.
I helped put [...]
