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 new class of non-Fourier filter/convolving functions has been proposed for the popular convolution back projection algorithm in computerized tomography. The convolver coefficients are evaluated directly by geometric considerations involved in the chordsegment inversion (CSI) algorithm. This CSI filter/convolving function is tested on simulated images representing density ranges encountered in damaged nuclear fuel bundles and two-phase steam-water flows.
