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 separation properties of the hydrocyclone and the centrifuge were compared with regard to applying the apparatus in the uranium extraction process. The product was applied as a comparative factor where is the average emulsion residence time inside the separator and ā is the acceleration calculated for the mean radius of the separator chamber. The values corresponding to typical operational conditions of centrifuges tested appeared to be significantly higher than those calculated for the hydrocyclone. Separation tests performed with the 1 N HNO3-30% tributyl phos-phate-Mepasine system gave negative results in the case of the hydrocyclone while the complete emulsion separation was attained in various centrifuges under conditions when 9 × 105 cm·s−1. The results obtained suggest that the ≥ product can be applied as the criterion of the satisfactory phase separation in the centrifugal apparatus.
