Highlights from the 2025 ANS State of the Nuclear Workforce survey
Last year was marked by a general air of excitement across the nuclear sector. From conference halls to board rooms, momentum manifested in numerous new project announcements, robust federal support, and high-aiming ambitions.
This mood was captured by the 2025 ANS State of the Nuclear Workforce survey, which was conducted from October 1–14. In isolation, the results of this year’s survey are promising; but when compared with the 2024 survey, the story is even clearer, with optimism up almost across the board and renewed attention in the industry’s most critical sectors.

An integral experiment was performed on a Be cylindrical assembly of 630mm in diameter and 456mm in thick. Measured items were reaction rates, in-system neutron spectra and gamma-ray heating rates. The experimental analysis was performed by the MCNP and DOT3.5 codes using the nuclear data of JENDL-3, JENDL-3PR1, ENDF/B-IV and LANL. For high threshold reactions and integral flux above 10MeV, the calculation based on JENDL-3 agrees well with the experiment, while the calculations of ENDF/B-IV and LANL underestimetes those compared to the experiment. For integral neutron flux of 0.16∼0.5 MeV, the calculation of JENDL-3 agrees well with the experiment. But in the case of ENDF/B-IV the underestimation is 20%. It can be concluded that the nuclear data of Be in JENDL-3 improves very much in accuracy from the temporary version JENDL-3PR1.
