ISU Nuke Ops and the Physical Therapy Assisting programs continue their tradition of collaborative ergonomics training for the 3rd year!

PTA students visit the Radiological Containments lab to learn abbout the stresses involved in glovebox work. Over the next week, they develop stretches and strengthening exercises to help the operations students develop safe and healthy mobile skills in their work environment, then share these techniques in the students.

Thanks to Jordan J. Williams and Nash Johnson for putting in the effort to give both groups of students such a great, hands-on opportunity as part of their coursework!

3rd year Nuclear Operations students hard at work perfecting their skills at performing tasks inside gloveboxes!

In this lab, students used cameras and mirrors to direct their work, as a challenge in their handling and maneuvering skills.

These students graduate in December, and are getting ready to start technician jobs at both Los Alamos National Laboratory and Idaho National Laboratory
