ANS Young Members Group Spotlight on Nuclear Careers
February 25, 2022|12:15AM–12:45PM (1:15AM–1:45PM EST)
Available to All Users
Join ANS's Young Members Group for a casual conversation about nuclear careers with Marci Shelton, senior nuclear engineer at SHINE Technologies LLC. Shelton currently works on production of radioisotopes for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in medicine, such as cancer therapy and imaging. She talked about her work with SHINE as well as her background in the nuclear industry. Following her talk, students asked questions about Shelton’s and other careers in the nuclear field.
Originally from southwest Wisconsin and a University of Wisconsin-Madison alumnus, Shelton has a diverse background in the nuclear industry having worked at the UW reactor lab, Idaho National Laboratory, and two nuclear utilities in both operations and engineering. Her most recent role before joining SHINE was as lead installation acceptance test developer & outage test director for an analog-to-digital control system upgrade at Exelon - Byron Generating Station.
