Future engineers visited Belarusian NPP

Written by Department of Information and Public Relations

Students from the "Future Energy" and "Engineering Ecology" sections at the October educational session of the children’s technopark, as well as participants in the "Start in Science" educational gathering from the Russian Federation took an educational tour of Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant.

The visit program was packed with activity: the participants learned the fundamentals of the plant's operation and explored future career prospects, tested the capabilities of a full-scale unit control room simulator, and visited the personnel radiation contamination monitoring facility. On the industrial site, they inspected a modern 330 kV gas-insulated switchgear and toured the turbine hall of power unit No. 2.

An important part of the trip was a meeting with the facility’s management, during which the students were able to ask questions about the specifics of operating a nuclear power plant and the development of Ostrovets region.

Such events play a key role in career guidance: they offer an inside look at high-tech manufacturing, inspire young people to pursue engineering professions, and help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the real-world challenges of the modern energy sector.
