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.

Within the framework of the Three Mile Island Unit 2 Analysis Exercise, the calculation of phases I and 2 of the accident (0 to 174 min) was performed with the computer code CA THARE 1 and with a preliminary version of CATHARE 1/ICARE. The initial transient (0 to 30 min) is accurately predicted by CATHARE. From the thermal-hydraulic point of view, the remainder of phase 1 has also been very well simulated, even though for the overall problem, this particular part of phase 1 did not prove to be nearly as difficult. The analysis of phase 2 is limited because the computer code does not calculate material relocation. Nevertheless, cladding ballooning and cladding oxidation seem to be correctly predicted.
