From Nuclear Power International
According to the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), more than 120,000 people work in the U.S. nuclear power industry, with 38 percent of them set to retire within the next few years. In an industry where knowledge and experience can prove invaluable, many companies are looking at ways to offset that loss, whether it is through training or the use of expert systems.
The issue of retaining the current knowledge base not only concerns the companies that employ nuclear workers, but also the young workers themselves.
