In the United States and South Korea, the nuclear industries are experiencing a
\ndecline in workforce. The shift away from nuclear in both countries can be cited as a
\npotential factor in the declining workforce, as the US is experiencing premature
\nreactor shutdowns and South Korea is experiencing a political shift towards an anti-
\nnuclear stance with the current administration\u2019s Nuclear-Zero Policy that has halted
\nnew builds of nuclear power plants and has put an end to life extensions. Small
\nreactor technologies may offer an opportunity to revitalize the nuclear industries of
\nboth countries, but in order to create this opportunity, efforts must be taken to
\nrevitalize the human resource aspect of the nuclear industry as well. In the US,
\nopportunities to improve the current nuclear workforce can begin with academia
\nthrough increased flexibility and options with emphasis on LWRs, fuel cycle,
\nmaterials, rector design, nonproliferation, criticality safety, and more; emphasis on
\nresearch opportunities can also be beneficial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
