PORT GIBSON, Miss.– More than 40 Beta Club students from Bogue Chitto Attendance Center visited Grand Gulf Nuclear Station recently to learn how Entergy produces clean, carbon-free energy for its customers and communities.

Grand Gulf radiation protection technicians met with the students to explain how they handle materials and keep team members safe. The students also learned about different career paths in the nuclear industry from maintenance services, engineering, security and craft professions. They finished the day with a STEM activity, using interactive kits to demonstrate electrical circuits.

“It is such an exciting experience for both students and Entergy employees to be able to share what we do here on a daily basis with our communities,” said Grant Flynn, Grand Gulf Nuclear Station general manager. “It’s great to see the students so engaged and asking very insightful questions. Those kids were very sharp; it wouldn’t surprise me at all to be working with them here at Grand Gulf in the future.”

Grand Gulf’s Women in Nuclear group organized the event.
