VR Job Discovery for ETC

Preparing an ultracentrifuge in VR

This Job Discovery takes students into the virtual world of ETC. They learn the process to prepare an ultracentrifuge. These centrifuges are used to enrich uranium.

Getting to know ETC virtually

Students learn about the hightech and innovative company ETC in virtual reality. ETC works on developing advanced solutions that contribute to a sustainable energy mix. Research and development are of great importance to develop and protect advanced technologies.

Preparing an ultracentrifuge

The goal is to prepare an ultracentrifuge in virtual reality which can be used to enrich uranium. Students make a long cylinder from a small one by using the technique of flow turning. After this procedure is finished it is important to measure the thickness of the cylinder.

When the thickness has been approved they use a welding machine in VR to make the rotor of the ultracentrifuge. At the end of the process the students weigh the centrifuge and then it is ready for use.
