OSTI ID:5961752

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), through its Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), Nuclear Development Division, established in 1989 a Study Panel to Assess the Demand for and Supply of Qualified Manpower for the Civilian Nuclear Industry.'' The study panel is composed of representatives from the OECD/NEA member countries and Nuclear Development Division staff. The study panel representatives established the objectives and methodology for the study; provided information and assessments of employment, education, and training trends for their countries; reviewed and critiqued the information obtained; and developed the contents and format for the final report. This report provides the final assessment information and data to the study panel for the United States. Included in the report are three items: (1) an assessment of shortage occupations in the US labor market for nuclear-related scientists and engineers, and the outlook through the year 2005 for the adequacy of supply of new graduates; (2) information on various programs in the United States sponsored by government, industry, utilities, and educational institutions to promote education in nuclear engineering and science related fields; and (3) projections for employment of scientists and engineers in the US civilian industry by segment of activity for 1989 through 2005.
