Team reaches more than 1,200 students and families with nuclear education
Nuclear Science Week is an international, broadly observed week-long celebration to focus local, regional and international interests on all aspects of nuclear science.
Daniel Smith is a hardworking instrumentation and controls technician at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station. If you were to ask his fellow coworkers if he knew the value of teamwork, they would say, “Yes, of course.” But after this experience, Smith would not be so sure.
Entergy was recently announced as an Edison Electric Institute Emergency Response Award recipient for sending crews to assist in restoration efforts following hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Meet Tyler Nye, an incident response specialist lead at our headquarters in New Orleans, Louisiana, who has played a key role in supporting Entergy’s readiness and response efforts, including serving as the program administrator for the storm manager application.
In July, Entergy joined other coastal utilities at a symposium hosted by the Edison Electric Institute to discuss hurricane preparedness and recovery with members of Congress on Capitol Hill. The company demonstrated one of its newest innovations: the Damage Assessment Collection Tool, or DACT, a tool that allows field crews to log storm damage directly into a mobile app using a phone or tablet.
May is Wildfire Awareness Month and Entergy is highlighting the importance of preparing for the increased risk of wildfires as the hotter, drier weather of the summer approaches.
For many team members, the phrase “always learning” is a mantra in most daily conversations, but seeing this value being taught to the future engineers of tomorrow is an important one to witness. Recently, students from the Madison Central High School Academy of Engineering were able to visit Entergy facilities and take full advantage of their partnership with the company.
