Description
By the end of December 2025, China has 59 operational nuclear power units (excluding Taiwan), with a total installed capacity of ~62.48 GW, surpassing the original 2020 target of 58 GW. The training of qualified workers through the peaceful development along the New Silk Road is one of the most significant tasks for Lanzhou University, which located in the capital of Gansu province and then located at the Silk Road. In the last century, universities in China hesitated and, in some cases, stopped some nuclear education programs, we have now restarted programs in the areas of radiochemistry, nuclear technology, nuclear physics, nuclear medicine etc. Similar developments have occurred at a number of institutions outside of universities. It is clear that a faster development of nuclear sciences and radiochemistry will enlarges the labor market for skilled workers, there will be a greater demand for skilled workers and talents, and this will face some challenges and difficulties for education, although we will be able to provide for this demand. The areas of skills that are affected by this are planning, construction and running of nuclear power plants and the nuclear fuel cycle. If China is to provide for this demand, this would demand a growing workforce in nuclear technology and radiochemistry. The peaceful use of nuclear energy along the Silk Road will enhance the training of skilled workers in the areas of nuclear and radiochemistry. Chinese people love and hope to set up a peaceful world, we should ensure peaceful use of nuclear energy. We hope everyone in the world enjoy the peaceful development of nuclear.
