BulAtom met with students from Ruse
On 16.10.2024 at the Baba Tonka High School of Mathematics in Ruse city, the first of a series of meetings with upper secondary school students organized by BULATOM was held.
At the opening of the meeting, the executive secretary of BulAtom, Stanislav Georgiev, welcomed the attendees and briefly introduced them to the activities of the association, emphasizing the events that we organize for secondary school students, with the aim of promoting the safe use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and encouraging them to continue their education in this field.
The presentation of Tsvetelina Beshirova from Kozloduy NPP, who introduced them to the scholarship programs, as well as the conditions for work, sports, recreation and entertainment that the plant provides to its employees, aroused great interest among the students present.
The students also watched with great attention a short film about Kozloduy NPP, made on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the plant.
No less interesting was the presentation of Assoc. Dr. Eng. Denitsa Zgureva from Department of Thermal and Nuclear Power Engineering at the Technical University of Sofia, who in turn presented the training programs at the department and the opportunities for realization of students upon completion of their studies.
The lecturers were pleasantly surprised by the numerous questions that the students asked, they were related not only to the presentations, but also to nuclear energy in general. For example, where does the nuclear fuel come from, how and where will the spent fuel be stored, is there a future for thermonuclear fusion.
The discussion continued long after the scheduled time, the students used the opportunity to ask questions that clearly interested them and to get more information, this only proves the fact that such meetings are useful, and that the young generation is keenly interested in nuclear energy and our nuclear power plant.
BulAtom thanked the Regional Education Department of Ruse and the Management of the “BabaTonka” High School of Mathematics – Ruse for the cooperation and good organization of the meeting with students.
We would also like to thank Kozloduy NPP and the Technical University of Sofia, Department of Thermal and Nuclear Power Engineering for the support they provide us in the implementation of these meetings.
