Workshop 3 - The prospects for young nuclear specialists in the new Europe
(A Young Generation - YGN - Workshop)
Moderators: Kim Dahlbacka, TVO, Finland and Boris Sucic, Zagreb University, Croatia

In a constantly evolving world, Europe is changing fast too. Since May 1, 2004, the EU has 25 Member States. Five of the 10 new Member States have nuclear power plants. In 2007, the EU will have 2 new Member States, Bulgaria and Rumania. Both have nuclear industries. With this in mind, we need to ask ourselves: What are the prospects for young nuclear specialists in an ever-expanding Europe?
