Students in the Hoke County
schools' classes for the handi
capped were given an outing Friday
at the farm of Bill and Rhenda
Cameron.
They rode horses, bounced on
the trampoline, went on hay rides,
rode bicycles, and had a ham
burger-and-hot dog picnic for
lunch.
Their teachers and other class
helpers were guests of the
Camerons also. These pictures
show some of them doing what they
don't get to do in class.
Mrs. Cameron is coordinator of
programs for special children in the
Hoke County schools.

JNCSU Chosen For Energy Graduate Program
by Mary N. Yiouonlia
North Carolina State University
is one of 25 colleges and universities
across the nation that have been
selected by the U.S. Department of
Energy to administer an Energy
Graduate Traineeship Program
#(EGT).
The program, which supports
the training of students pursuing
doctoral degrees in specific energy -
related disciplines, is designed to
help meet the nation's future
manpower needs in energy areas.
NCSU will receive a grant of
S56.000 from the Department of
Energy to fund the program,
? Dr. Paul J. Turinsky, head of the
WNCSU nuclear engineering depart
ment, said the traineeship program
will get underway this fall, initially
in the general area of nuclear power
systems analysis.
The program also supports the
education of advanced nuclear
engineering students in the areas of
dynamic behavior and safety of
reactors and nuclear materials
studies.
Graduate students selected as
^trainees beginning this fall semes
ter are Matthew B. Richards, a
1982 NCSU graduate and Scott A.
Comes, a 1982 graduate from the
University of Virginia. Both re
ceived their bachelor's degrees in
nuclear engineering.
They will be working under the
direction of Turinsky and Dr. I.M.
Doster in the specific areas of
nuclear fuel management and in
?the development of nuclear power
plant simulators that can be used in
the training of nuclear operators.
Work on nuclear power plant
simulator models has been in
progress in the department for
several years with support provided
by Carolina Power & Light Com
pany. The Babcock & Wilcox*
Company has been supporting the
department's research program in
Both companies are expected to
participate in the EGT Program
through continued cooperative re
search and trainee assignments at
their companies.
Tuminsky pointed out that since
the Three Mile Island accident,
there has been renewed emphasis
on the importance of nuclear power
plant simulators in the training of
reactor operators. He also said that
a few percent reduction in nuclear
fuel costs achievable through the
use of optimization techniques can
result in millions of dollars in
savings for each nuclear power
plant and thus to utility customers.
The first university to own and
operate a nuclear reactor for
educational purposes, NCSU now
has in operation a one - million -
watt PULSTAR reactor for teach
ing. research and public service
programs.
NCSU has been a world leader in
the development of manpower for
the nuclear energy industry. Since
1951, more than 700 bachelor's
degrees, 270 masters' degrees and
75 doctoral degrees in nuclear
engineering have been awarded by
the NCSU School of Engineering.
Turinsky noted that NCSU nu
clear engineering graduates are
found in leading positions and in
various phases of nuclear energy
developments throughout the
United States and the world.
