Ontario Tech takes pride in the emphasis on experiential learning and their well-established relationships with industry partners. I toured the powerhouse at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station (NGS), BWXT's Fuel Fabrication Facility in Peterborough and the Western Waste Management Facility on the Bruce Power nuclear site, to name a few. I am proud to have been part of a program that has given me a great deal of insight into the industry. I am currently pursing my Master of Science in Space Radiation Shielding and feel well prepared thanks to Ontario Tech.
