 SRNS Helps Youth Discover Manufacturing

Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC is helping the Silver Crescent Foundation in its efforts to expose more Aiken youth to the future career opportunities that exist in the burgeoning hydrogen economy as part of last month's session of Camp Success. In addition to providing engineers and scientists that led educational presentations and hands-on activities like a bridge building contest and racing robots, SRNS Vice President Veasey Wilson presented Foundation President Karen Owens with a check for $4000 to support its Discover Manufacturing programs, which include Camp Success.
