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 laboratory scale calciner was developed in which a batch of SYNROC slurry could be dried and then calcined. A SYNROC sample was demonstratively prepared from a hydroxide-route slurry with the calciner. Results of x-ray diffraction and leach tests revealed that the calciner formed a SYNROC sample of good quality. It is also shown that the calciner is well adapted to a hot-cell apparatus for SYNROC fabrication.
