MANILA, Philippines - When Ateneo student Anton Tanquintic was on his internship at the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute, he saw a poster promoting a competition. Wanting to exceed his comfort zone, the Applied Physics and Materials Science and Engineering student in the Ateneo de Manila University, joined the competition with no expectations. His leap of faith may now send him as the lone Filipino finalist to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) headquarters in Vienna, Austria on September 2015.
The competition is the World Nuclear University's (WNU) Nuclear Olympiad 2015, a 4-year-old international challenge for undergraduate and graduate students of universities. According to its website, WNU is a “worldwide network of educational and research institutions engaged in peaceful uses of nuclear energy.”
