Germany Says It Has `Critical' Lack of Nuclear Power Scientists - Bloomberg - 19 Sep 08
"Germany, which plans to end its use of nuclear power by 2021, has a 'critical' lack of qualified nuclear scientists to inspect the 17 German atomic energy plants and maintain its expertise, Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel said.
Germany must find ways to encourage people to enter the field even with the planned phaseout of nuclear energy, Gabriel said today at a Berlin briefing. The federal environment ministry, which is responsible for nuclear safety, has about 15 employees to oversee inspection for all of Germany, which isn't enough, he said.
'We need an improvement regarding personnel,' Gabriel said. 'Regardless of phasing out nuclear power, nuclear research will go on whether it's in the field of medicine or others. The ministry doesn't have a crystal ball and we have no idea how we will use nuclear in 30 or 40 years.' "
