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.

Technical Paper | Advanced Light Water Reactor / Fission Reactor | doi.org/10.13182/NT88-A35545
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
Preliminary design studies on high conversion pressurized water reactors have been completed, and their feasibility is considerably improved. Covered are nuclear design; thermohydraulic design, including departure from nucleate boiling experiments; fuel assembly; and reactor internals design performed from 1984 to 1985.
