ByRod Adams

John Kotek, Executive Director, American Council on Global Nuclear Competitiveness chats with Rod Adams about the Council’s recently released jobs study.

John Kotek, Executive Director, American Council on Global Nuclear Competitiveness and I chatted for a while about the Council’s recently released state by state study of the potential job creation in the coming Nuclear Renaissance.

If you are interested in learning more about job opportunities at Entergy, one of the leading nuclear power operators in the United States, visit nuclearenergycareers.com. There you can learn about a company that not only operates a well respected fleet of nuclear plants, but also offers a traditional pension plan, great health benefits, competitive starting and continuing salaries and a supportive working environment. In addition, they are leaning forward and looking at technologies like high temperature gas reactors, one of my favorite nuclear power concepts.
