The growing use of nuclear medicine, the potential expansion of
nuclear power generation, and the urgent needs to protect the
nation against external nuclear threats, to maintain our nuclear
weapons stockpile, and to manage the nuclear wastes generated in
past decades, require a substantial, highly trained, and
exceptionally talented workforce. Assuring a Future U.S.-Based
Nuclear and Radiochemistry Expertise examines supply and demand for
expertise in nuclear chemistry nuclear science, and radiochemistry
in the United States and presents possible approaches for ensuring
adequate availability of these skills, including necessary science
and technology training platforms. Considering a range of
reasonable scenarios looking to the future, none of these areas are
likely to experience a decrease in demand for expertise. However,
many in the current workforce are approaching retirement age and
the number of students opting for careers in nuclear and
radiochemistry has decreased dramatically over the past few
decades. In order to avoid a gap in these critical areas, increases
in student interest in these careers, in the research and
educational capacity of universities and colleges, and sector
specific on-the-job training will be needed. Concise
recommendations are given for actions to avoid a shortage of
nuclear chemistry, nuclear scientists, and radiochemists in the
future. Table of Contents Front Matter Executive Summary 1
