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 method has been developed to predict sorption reactions of radionuclides on granitoid rock. This method is based on simultaneous ion exchange reactions for both radionuclide and competing cations in solution. Several batch sorption experiments using crushed and sieved rocks showed the Rothmund and Kornfeld type of equation, which determined exchange constants of cesium, cobalt, manganese, strontium, and competing major cations in natural water. Sorption data in three synthetic solutions of 1 N calcium chloride, groundwater, and seawater indicated that simultaneous ion exchange reactions predict mechanisms for all cations in solution. A simple method is proposed to predict a sorption isotherm of radionuclide in the presence of competing cations, such as potassium, sodium, and manganese.
