North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NA-YGN) recently held their 13th Annual “Roddy Nuclear” Drawing contest all over North America. Roddy Nuclear is a nuclear fuel pellet cartoon character who can fit into the palm of a child’s hand. In fact, Roddy provides as much energy as almost two-thousand pounds of coal and 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas!
NA-YGN members used Roddy’s adventures to present the benefits of nuclear energy to over 1,000 4th and 5th grade students in this year’s contest. The theme for the contest was “Roddy Nuclear Powers the World.“ Students were asked to submit drawings inspired by the theme and what they learned during the presentations.
NA-YGN would like to thank all of it’s participating members along with all of the educators who contributed to the success of this year’s contest. Now, we just have to pick a winner!
