Nuclear Engineer Visits Proctor School

Nuclear Engineer Visits Our School

By Student Bloggers: Alex, John, and Gabriele

Last Friday, Mr. Gallant, a nuclear engineer visited Proctor Elementary School. He showed us all about nuclear energy. One thing Mr. Gallant taught us is that once you split an atom you cannot use it again. He also told us to never leave a nuclear power plant unsupervised. Mr. Gallant showed us the building where he worked. Mr. Gallant works at Pilgrim Power Plant in Plymouth, MA.

It is a really big building.

We asked him a lot of questions including, "How long have you worked at your job?" and "Are atoms dangerous to touch?"

Mr. Gallant got interested in his job when working on a nuclear submarine in the navy. Did you know that Mr. Gallant is our teacher Miss Gallant’s dad?

Thank you for teaching us about nuclear energy Mr. Gallant!
