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.

The fast neutron hodoscope installed at the CABRI reactor in Cadarache, France, is used to measure axial fuel relocations subsequent to the disruption of single test pins submitted to simulated severe accident conditions. The design, data acquisition system, and hodoscope operation during an experiment are described. Different data evaluation methods are discussed, and the corresponding display techniques are illustrated. The models developed for the fuel signal to mass conversion are presented. Typical results obtained with the hodoscope during the past 20 CABRI experiments are briefly summarized.
