Four million nuclear jobs by 2050: Who will do them?
Industry leaders from around the globe met this month to discuss the talent development that will be necessary for the long-term success of the nuclear industry.
The International Conference on Nuclear Knowledge Management and Human Resources Development, hosted by the International Atomic Energy Agency, was held in Vienna earlier this month. Discussed there was the agency’s forecast for nuclear capacity to more than double—or hopefully triple—by 2050 and the requirement of more than four million professionals to support the industry.

A driving device was designed and fabricated using large integration for activated wire counting. The salient points of this setup are presented with reference to reactor flux mapping. They are (a) easy positioning, (b) adjustable speed of motor rotation by varying time sequence, (c) reversible motor rotation, and (d) on-line operation of several units. The device can be used for routine flux mapping and reactor experiments.
