AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO HUMAN
RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT FOR NUCLEAR
ENERGY:
THE NUCLEAR POWER INSTITUTE
Background
• With the anticipation of retirements from the
nuclear workforce and new construction, new
approaches are needed to meet the human
resource challenges
• The Nuclear Power Institute constitutes an
innovative response
