A meeting with students from Vidin was held by BulAtom

On November 19, BulAtom, together with the Regional Education Department of Vidin, organized and held a meeting with students from the city of Vidin. The hall of the Center for Support for Personal Development with the subject of activity career guidance and counselling in Vidin, turned out to be too small to accommodate all the students who expressed a desire to attend the meeting.

The directorate of the Center, Silvia Stavreva, in her speech, shared her satisfaction that BulAtom is organizing such a meeting in Vidin again, and that “the purpose of this information meeting is to acquaint students with the opportunities for education, what they would acquire as a specialty and how they could realize themselves in the field of nuclear energy

The meeting continued with a short announcement by the Executive Secretary of BulAtom Stanislav Georgiev, who presented the activities of BulAtom. He gave the floor to Tsvetelina Beshirova from Kozloduy NPP, who introduced the students to the working conditions, recreation and entertainment that the plant provides to its employees. Also, what are the scholarship programs and summer internships that Kozloduy NPP provides to students. After the students watched with great interest the film about Kozloduy NPP, chief assistant Emil Kichev from the Department of Thermal and Nuclear Power Engineering at the Technical University of Sofia in turn, introduced them to the educational programs and the opportunities for realization of students after graduation.

Albena Georgieva from the Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NRA), who is originally from the city of Vidin and was very happy to share that she is a graduate of the Mathematical High School, also participated as a lecturer in the meeting. In the form of a talk, she introduced the students to what nuclear energy is, its applications, as well as what it does and what are the functions of the NRA.

After the presentations, the students had presented the opportunity not only to ask questions, but were provoked with questions by our lecturers, to which they also answered in this away an interesting and emotional discussion was obtained, from which everyone was satisfied.

Evidence of this is the answer that one of the students gave to a question from the media present at the meeting. Asked if the meeting was interesting and fruitful for him, he replied: “Nice meeting and fruitful. It made me really think about the fact that energy is important for Bulgaria and it is good to work on this because you feel important.”
