Nuclear Training

摘要

In February 2010 after touring a clean jobs training facility in Lanham, MD, Pres Obama delivered a speech stating that his administration had approved $8.3 billion in new loan guarantees to build nuclear power facilities. The loan guarantees would help finance new reactors such as those at the Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Plant in eastern Georgia. This would be a most welcome project for the surrounding economy as construction is expected to create some 3,400 construction jobs and 800 permanent jobs once the reactors are up and running. Nuclear expansion also opens up opportunities for innovations in training and for the industry to continue improving on its already existing high quality standards. Chattanooga State Community College has worked on forging a partnership with the Tennessee Valley Authority that has facilitated training readiness. The utility is coming to the school with its need to build a curriculum.
