Technical representatives i g from Headquarters and the Regions actively participate in the recruitment program. y Interns are carefully selected on the basis of their salastic achievement, work ik experience and training, and demonstrated potential t Neet NRC staffing needs. However, an education in the nuclear field and experience in the nuclearindustty are not prerequisites for selection as an intern, because intems will gain relevant technical I knowledge through the extensive training schedule and developmental assignments during the intern program.
