Nuclear Energy
A few facts:
- Nuclear energy is the leading source of power that does not emit Greenhouse gases.
- Currently, nuclear power provides 20 percent of the electricity generated in the US.
- While there are currently 42 nuclear power plants operating in the US, another 34 are in the pipeline.
- Although a number of factors could slow down deployment of new nuclear power plants, competition for the best talent in this specialty is already underway.
- Meanwhile, the last time a new nuclear power plant was commissioned in the United States, was 1977. Many of the employees who understood that process are now retired or will be retiring in the next five years.
What does this mean for you?
Industry experts are predicting a “Nuclear Renaissance” and if your company has an investment in nuclear energy production, it may soon become harder to find great talent.
Climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are just two of the factors driving the trend toward commissioning new plants. Meanwhile a critical shortage of professionals skilled in new designs and technologies will make it harder to keep pace.
As the only carbon-free source of power available around the clock, nuclear technology is positioned to help electric companies increase the nation’s baseload power over the next 20 years and this means increased demand for scientists and engineers knowledgeable in advanced nuclear power technologies.
