Are we still falling in nuclear by chance?

Since latest 80’s, people have been enrolled in jobs related to some of the different nuclear fields mainly because they sent a CV to a set of companies and they got an answer; a lot of people say “I’m working here by chance”. Nowadays, this situation is changing and students are choosing nuclear degrees or applying to Engineering Schools because they like Nuclear Science or they believe that these studies are worthy. This panel looks into attractive new training programs in the nuclear field for new graduates and for seniors
