A Home To Nuclear Energy: Risk to Possibility

Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) Senior Project Manager Christine Roy delivered a TEDxDover Sherborn High School Youth talk exploring her unexpected journey into nuclear engineering and the role it can play in a carbon-free future.

In the talk, Christine reflects on how a childhood dream of designing attractions for Disney led to a career designing structures for nuclear facilities. She shares lessons learned from engineering for extreme events; discusses advances in next-generation nuclear technologies; and explores how engineers can help balance risk, resilience, and opportunity as energy demands continue to grow.
