WIPP: Lessons in transportation safety
As part of a future consent-based approach by the federal government to site new deep geologic repositories for nuclear waste, local communities and states that are considering hosting such facilities are sure to have many questions. Currently, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico is the only example of such a repository in operation, and it offers the opportunity for state and local officials to visit and judge for themselves the risks and benefits of hosting a similar facility. But its history can also provide lessons for these officials, particularly the political process leading up to the opening of WIPP, the safety of WIPP operations and transportation of waste from generator facilities to the site, and the economic impacts the project has had on the local area of Carlsbad, as well as the rest of the state of New Mexico.
The career fair will consist of two parts. The first part consists of a dedicated presentation time of one uninterrupted hour for each company, with time for Q&A at the end, and a virtual booth setup. During the presentation time, each company will present what they do in nuclear, career opportunities, etc. For the virtual booths, each company will have a zoom room where they can have intermittent staffed and unstaffed sessions.During the staffed periods, students may ask questions to the company representatives, but this will not necessarily be 1-on-1. During the unstaffed periods, attendees will only see the company cover slide with times for the next staffed period, and the cover slide will include information about the company itself. Each company may choose the frequencies of their staffed sessions, and may choose to staff their booth for the entire time, just the one hour session, or any frequency or length between these two options.
