As a sketchman, Sean M. maintains ruled lines, but his journey to this career path was less straightforward. He earned a bachelor’s degree in interior architecture from the University of Tennessee in 2017, looked at the career path ahead of him — and chose a new map.

This image is an information card from Oak Ridge National Laboratory about Nickel-63. It includes details such as half-life of 101.2 years, atomic number 28, atomic mass 62.92 amu, and decay type as beta decay. Uses mentioned are security, airport, and port screenings. It is used to detect traces of explosives and to power nuclear batteries. Production route involves neutron capture on enriched nickel-62.

Every Oct. 23 (10/23), 6:02 a.m.-6:02 p.m., is designated as Mole Day, commemorating Avogadro's number, 6.02×10²³. The mole has applications across @INL’s research areas. Experts at our Analytical Research Lab study nuclear fuels down to the atomic level: inl.gov/document/radiochemis…

Hey WIN world! This is @nucleargrrl initiating a (non)hostile takeover of the U.S. WIN X account! Today the Westinghouse Pittsburgh Chapter is hosting 50 students for a day of discovery at Engineer Your Future STEM workshop. Follow along as we share details of our biggest event! – at Ruffs Dale, PA

These events are also a chance for our employee members to broaden their network and stretch skills they might not use often, like public speaking, making social connections w/strangers, leading others in an activity, organizing groups, etc.

Student groups race each other to navigate their @Sphero BOLT robot through a task laden obstacle course using block programming. Programming this Sphero robot to the finish line without leaving the course is harder than it looks! #nuclearsciweek – at Ruffs Dale, PA
