NA-YGN Webinars

The first in a series of professional development sessions sponsored by the NA-YGN Professional Development Committee will be coming soon! 

Have you ever wondered about getting a Reactor Operator or Senior Reactor Operator's license?  Are you just curious about this area of our industry? The first professional development webinar session, "Initial Licensing Training Information" is hosted by Exelon.  The speaker, Tom McCool, Operations Director at the Braidwood Generating Station, will review and discuss the requirements to hold a operator's license, the amount of work required to get the license, and the benefits of holding a license.

The session will be held on Thursday February 26, 2009 at 2pm EST.  To listen in, you must register for the call (as a limited number of lines are available on a first-come-first-serve basis) but most chapter leads have already done so.  Please check with your chapter lead about their arrangements for the call.  Registration: http://www.quia.com/sv/263121.html
