The Atomic Show #008 (MP3 – 7.6MB – 22min)

ByRod Adams

This is a special edition of The Atomic Show.

In November, 2005, I attended the American Nuclear Society Winter Meeting in Washington, DC. While there, I recorded an interview with Kelly Taylor, an active member of a group called North American Young Generation in Nuclear.

Kelly has been in the nuclear industry since she graduated from high school. During the interview we talk about the benefits of her employment, the training she has received, the challenges of being one of a small number of women in an industrial environment and the changes that have occurred during her 19 years of employment.

We also talk a bit about the challenges of balancing work and family, especially in an industry that operates on a 24 x 7 schedule. Though we did this interview a few months ago, I think you will find that it talks about some timeless topics of interest.
