Summary
Tennessee Nuclear Network Director Bill Tindal describes a $10 billion nuclear energy investment wave in East Tennessee that has moved well past speculation — a reactor is under construction, a fuel fabrication facility is going vertical and companies covering the full nuclear fuel lifecycle are hiring now. He breaks down the skilled trades needed, the workforce pipeline being built through Roane State Community College and high school dual enrollment programs and why US energy demand projected to quadruple by 2050 makes this a long-term career environment for skilled workers across the country.
