"Why I Am CNTA"
I have spent 30 years working in the nuclear industry. I value CNTA’s expertise and willingness to educate the public regarding the level of controls to ensure our industry remains one of the safest, if not the safest, industrial work environment."
- Sonya Patton
CNTA has progressed and improved my network, keeps me aware and up to date on information related to the Nuclear industry and DOE, provides opportunities for me to serve the community, and I support all that CNTA stands for and supports. Their years of service to people of the nuclear industry, and the information and services provided to students and the community at large should truly be commended and supported. The level of professionalism and service that I have experienced with CNTA is first class on every level, and I am thankful to be a part of a great service organization like CNTA. That’s “WHY” I choose to support CNTA, and I encourage anyone who values education and community services to support it too.”
- Byron N. Bush. Director, Business Development EGS
Although we are no longer residents of the CSRA, I have continued my membership in the CNTA. I was fortunate enough to have been one of the Key Executives with SRNS who arrived in Aiken in 2008. I knew several of the folks involved with CNTA and was immediately impressed with the impact CNTA had not only locally but on a broader scale. I am particularly pleased to see CNTA engaging our younger folks. It is never too early to provide folks facts to allow them to make informed decisions. Keep up the good work.”
- Tony Umek, Consultant, Longenecker & Associates
Unfortunately, many well-meaning people do not understand nuclear matters. CNTA provides objective, accurate information. CNTA works with teachers to give them the tools they need to prepare students for the future. I feel privileged to have worked with those fine teachers in Aiken County and beyond.”
- Ken Stephens, PhD, Retired from SRS
