SNT concrete treatment unit for the fully-automatic crushing of radioactive concrete and subsequent packing in interim storage containers
• After completing such an internship,
students in the local community have
the opportunity to deepen their
practical experience with a courserelated
job at SNT – for both parties a
win-win situation!
• The fi nal step in attaching students to
the company is to support them during
bachelor‘s, master‘s, and diploma
theses which, after their completion,
may lead to full-time employment.
“By supporting students with their theses,
we were able to gain fi ve young qualifi ed
employees for SNT last year. The methods
that lead to a fi rst encounter or to a cooperation
are oftentimes very different:
Our presence and our commitment at
events hosted for students by the nuclear
associations, at student education fairs or
at other workshops associated with

awards Heiko Herbell from the KIT, Institute
for Neutron Physics and Reactor Technology,
the “Competence Prize 2010”
colleges/universities can lead to fi rst
encounters that will become long-term
relationships,” says Michael Szukala.
Better power plant know-how
for trainees
As part of the company‘s commitment to
the training of young people, SNT offers a
complex trainee program. In cooperation
with E.ON, Vattenfall and KIT, SNT
provides the opportunity for in-service
training over a time period of twelve to
15 months specializing in power plant
know-how. This program includes two
to three months of training at SNT as
well as an assignment at a power plant
SIEMPELKAMP | NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY
location. The objective is to establish
special knowledge, to ensure the knowhow
transfer, and to extend the competences
of both parties involved in order
to guarantee a long-term qualifi ed cooperation.
Since the beginning of the trainee
program in 2007, seven trainees started
their work at the nuclear power plants
Brunsbüttel, Krümmel and Unterweser as
well as at the KIT. Meanwhile, four of
them are working as project engineers or
managers for the power plant operators;
the three remaining ones are still completing
their traineeships. The advantages
for SNT as the supplier are obvious. The
