Increase Flexibility. Expand Opportunities. Lower Costs.
Many of the men and women running America's power plants are nearing retirement. Every sector of the energy industry is expected to lose a large share of its work force as millions of experienced professionals become eligible for retirement over the next few years.
Is the power generation industry prepared to compete with other industries for a new generation of skilled workers? What's more, does the industry have a plan for training and knowledge retention?
Just consider this:
|
|
Over the next 5 years, nearly 40 percent of the nuclear workforce will be eligible for retirement. |
|
|
The electric power industry will need to replace nearly 100,000 skilled workers, more than 20,000 of them in the nuclear industry, by 2018. |
|
|
The Energy Information Administration forecast for new electricity generating capacity is 220 gigawatts by the year 2035, based on an annual growth of 1 percent. |
|
|
Sixty-three (63) operating nuclear reactors have had their operating licenses extended for an additional 20 years. Applications to the NRC to renew the operating licenses of another 21 reactors are pending. |
|
|
Almost all jobs in the nuclear industry require some type of post-secondary education. |
