Columbia Basin College is sponsoring a "Powering the Future" exhibit about the nuclear industry through Wednesday at the campus, 2600 N. 20th Ave., Pasco.
The exhibit focuses on the nuclear fuel cycle, local industry, electricity and career opportunities. It also includes information about the college's nuclear technology program.
The display will be in the HUB Atrium through today. It will be moved to the Center for Career and Technical Education Rotunda on Friday.
Columbia Basin College's Nuclear Technology program will have an open house and career fair Monday.
The event is meant to give prospective students the opportunity to learn about the program and allow the community to get insight on what is taught.
There will be hands-on activities, a nuclear industry exhibit and talks offered on the program. All are welcome.
Particles on the Wall, a multidisciplinary art exhibit that examines how nuclear technology has affected humanity, opens Tuesday with a reception starting at 6 p.m. at Washington State University Tri-Cities.
The exhibit blends visual art, poems and science with history and memorabilia to address issues of radioactive contamination, nuclear weapons and technology in Washington, and the role of nuclear technology in southeastern Washington.
The exhibit continues through April 4 in the Consolidated Information Center, 2770 Crimson Way, Richland.
A drive down Richland's George Washington Way about a year from now no longer will provide a glimpse of the vintage cream and maroon Hanford buses parked outside the CREHST museum.
The museum, after about 18 years in the Tri-Cities, will close about the time the new Hanford Reach Interpretive Center opens.
The museum already is entering a final year of change.
