CAITHNESS YOUNGSTERS WIN
TRIP TO FUSION RESEARCH CENTRE
Stuart won the top essay-writing competition with his essay reflecting on �What Science Means To Me�. The prize consisted of an all expenses-paid visit to the Culham Science Centre, accompanied by a friend, Alan Candeland (14), and school teacher Peter Darmady. Stuart said: �I really enjoyed visiting Culham. It�s amazing to think that the research going on there will affect the future of the whole planet. � UKAEA Dounreay�s Pat Kieran, who organised the competition, said: �It was a very tough competition to judge, the essays were of a very high standard and it was difficult to choose a winner. However, Stuart�s essay impressed us with his grasp of the subject.� The competition was organised by local schools and UKAEA�s Dounreay site. The prize-winners visited the JET (Joint European Torus) Research Reactor at Culham, to find about its programme developing nuclear fusion as a viable energy source. |
