Today's focus: Nuclear security internship at PNNL

By M. E. Kabay

I want to engage readers in a useful exercise: spreading the
word to universities across the U.S. about the exciting new
defense nuclear security internship and career opportunity for
seniors being offered by the Pacific Northwest National
Laboratories (PNNL) of the U.S. Department of Energy.

After the 12-month internship, participants transition to
full-time federal careers in defense nuclear security.

The following description draws liberally on a message I and
other professors received from PNNL recently.

The 12- to 15-month, full-time intern program is designed to
promote awareness of professional opportunities in the field of
safeguards and security. The intern program will support the
development of a qualified, experienced pool available to aid
the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) in
contributing to the protection of national security assets. The
program offers work and training experience that provides
participants an overview of the breadth, complexity, and
importance of NNSA's safeguards and security mission.

Interns are assigned to a specific NNSA site or program office
working with select staff and mentors in support of safeguards
and security programs. Successful interns may have an
opportunity for permanent placement as a federal employee within
NNSA upon completion of the program.

This opportunity for graduating seniors will be particularly
exciting for students with majors and minors in information
assurance, criminal justice, and digital forensics. However, the
opportunity is open for many students; the flier explicitly asks
for students who are U.S. citizens eligible for an Energy
Department security clearance and with:

"Practical experience in or academic specialization in areas
such as, but not limited to:
* Criminal Justice /Security Management,
* Computer Science / Cyber Security,
* Electrical Engineering,
* Mechanical Engineering,
* Structural Engineering,
* Accounting / Finance,
* Nuclear Engineering, and
* Physics."

Readers can help improve nuclear security and perhaps give
promising seniors a real career boost by making this information
available to nearby universities and colleges. Perhaps you also
have sons, daughters, nieces, nephews and grandchildren who
might be interested!

FEATURED READER RESOURCE

IS IT THE NETWORK OR THE STORAGE THAT'S THE PROBLEM?

Midsize and larger businesses often find their IT topology has
become a complex mix of servers, networks and storage systems.
Many of these companies also route long-haul traffic over
fiber-based networks - metropolitan-area networks, WANs and
private optical networks. Who's responsible when a
storage-related problem occurs on a fiber network? For more,
