Molten Salt Reactor concept is recognized as a game-changing technology that can overcome existing barriers to the widespread adoption of commercial nuclear power. Despite numerous efforts in coordinating and promoting nuclear education, there is still much to be done for maintaining and expanding our skilled nuclear workforce, which is critical for meeting the growing and specialized demand of MSR development. This panel session will bring together leaders in the MSR community including academia, national laboratories, government agencies, and industry, to discuss the challenges in educating, hiring, and retaining a skilled nuclear workforce to meet the future needs of the field.
