Potential Job Boom in Nuclear Energy as Industry is poised for Enormous Growth
One sure thing for future employment is in nuclear. Now with three decades past the partial meltdown of a reactor at Three Mile Island and further expansion of nuclear power at a standstill, years of stagnant hiring comes to, as the American Physical Society, an independent group of physicists put it, “a greatly reduced interest among undergraduates in nuclear science and engineering programs. This quote is from a recent report by the Society finding that the number of college nuclear engineering programs has dropped from 66 in the early 1980s to 30 in 2008. (page 4 of the pdf file)

National oil spill commission using nuclear power industry as model
Ex-Sen. Graham: Nuclear-industry example to be used for oil, gas
Former Sen. Bob Graham, co-chairman of the national oil-spill commission, said the oil and natural gas industry can look at how the nuclear industry reacted after the 1979 crisis at Three Mile Island. After the incident, the industry formed the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations, which was assigned the task of formulating safety standards for the industry. The lessons learned during that crisis "was very instructive for the deepwater-drilling industry," Graham said. The Times-Picayune (New Orleans)
