Bruce Power is putting forward $300,000 to support McMaster University’s Nuclear Energy and Radioisotope Development Camp.
The investment of $100,000 over three years will ensure the camp remains free for students, cover transportation, accommodations, meals, lab access and instruction for up to 20 students per week over two weeks every summer.
The camp is an immersive on campus program introducing high school and post secondary students to nuclear science, engineering and a broader STEM career pathway.
Peter McDermid, Director of Business Development and Transformation says Canada’s nuclear sector is experiencing unprecedented growth and investment like this can help ensure young people can see themselves as part of the future workforce to drive clean energy production, isotope innovation and economic growth.
