Key recommendations
The report’s recommendations are aimed at the nuclear sector, the educational sector and the government. In doing so, we want to contribute to the conversation about the further development of an attractive and dynamic labor market. We would like to enter into discussions with relevant organizations and governments about the role we can and want to play.
- Search with the government for a form of organization to prepare now for new nuclear installations and related labor market challenges.
- Explore at MBO and HBO level with the nuclear sector opportunities for specialized apprenticeships at nuclear organizations in the region.
- Develop, together with the industry and the educational institutions, a program or action plan to build capacity within the nuclear sector.
- Such an action plan should ensure that Dutch industry can also contribute to and benefit from the construction of new nuclear facilities.

Did you know....?
More than 1,500 people work in the Dutch nuclear industry. In addition, the sector provides thousands of jobs far beyond its national borders among suppliers and users of its end products. With its many spinn-offs and high-tech applications, it is an innovative and dynamic sector. We provide knowledge, services and products that society desperately needs. Think for example of medical knowledge and medicines, electricity, material knowledge and analysis and detection methods for numerous fields of work. Moreover, the Dutch nuclear sector has a unique position: we represent almost the entire production chain for nuclear medicines. From the production of medical isotopes to the safe disposal of radioactive waste.
