The children visited classrooms, where they were introduced to the plant's equipment and technological systems. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, the students were allowed to participate in virtual unit control processes using a full-scale control room simulator.
Olga Kuts, a representative of the country's only HR department and a specialist in the HR group, told the students how to become a nuclear scientist and what they need to do to get there.
At the nuclear power plant's production site, Technopark students had the unique opportunity to meet with Denis Artyomov, Deputy Head of the Radioactive Waste Management Shop, who provided the future nuclear scientists and environmentalists with a detailed explanation of the nuclear power plant's radioactive waste management strategy, including its safe processing and storage.
The children toured the site of the nuclear power plant—the cleanest energy facility in the world—on an environmentally friendly electric bus, the latest addition to BelNPP fleet.
The Technopark's visit to the psychophysiological support laboratories concluded. The schoolchildren learned about the plant's personnel training process, focusing on human psychological characteristics. The children were able to practice interaction, communication and teamwork.
Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant's collaboration with the National Children's Technopark plays a vital role in shaping the future generation of nuclear energy specialists. It fosters technical thinking, engineering skills, and an interest in science among schoolchildren, and helps attract talented young people to the nuclear industry.
