The Radiant Women in Nuclear: Lunch and Learn will bring together brilliant and prominent women from the nuclear industry to share their stories, experiences, and insights as leaders in nuclear engineering and science. We aim to create a unique platform that celebrates the achievements of women in the field, encourages insightful discussions, promotes equity and inclusion, and empowers the next generation of women in the field. This event is a collaborative effort between the Women in Nuclear Penn State Chapter and the Penn State Engineering Diversity Student Round Table.
Radiant is sponsoring the event. Based in El Segundo, CA, they aim to test the world's first portable nuclear microreactor by 2026, and they are actively building a great team to achieve this goal. If you are interested in learning more about Radiant and potential career opportunities, reach out to recruiting@radiantnuclear.com to talk with someone on their team.
