Former Olympian Turned Reactor Operator

July 08, 2024

Meet Paul Terek

Paul Terek is a former decathlete who competed in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.

After an injury sidelined his career, he turned to nuclear power.

Paul is a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in California.

The plant announced it would shut down, but thanks to state action and a conditional Civil Nuclear Credit award from the U.S. Department of Energy, Diablo Canyon is expected to extend operations.
