Interns to Industry: Connecting students to the workforce
The nuclear industry has long recognized a shortage of both skilled craft labor and professional talent. As global demand for reliable energy continues to rise—across the United States and internationally—that need has not only increased but has become critical.” This is a truth that nuclear industry consultant Jeffery P. Hawkins understands, and it is why he developed a program called Interns to Industry. The former Fluor Corporation executive said that “there has been a deficit of qualified resources in the nuclear industry, and this is forecasted to be even more so in the future, so I am working with various universities to determine how to customize their curriculums to fit the forecasted needs of the industry.”

Neutron capture up to 700 keV was measured for arsenic and bromine and for an enriched sample of 81Br. Individual resonance capture was parameterized in the first several kilo-electron-volts and average capture cross sections derived at the higher energies. Maxwellian average cross sections found for 79,81Br and 75As, respectively, were 741 ± 30, 244 ± 10, and 455 ± 18 mb for a temperature kT = 30 keV. Resonance capture integrals calculated for 79,81 Br, respectively, were 130 ± 5 and 46.6 ± 1.8 b.
