Technology at International Atomic Energy Agency
A workforce skilled in nuclear science is essential to realizing the full potential of nuclear technology. Such workforce must include both women and men, because gender diversity is vital for driving more innovative and sustainable solutions in the nuclear field. However, with women currently making up less than a quarter of the nuclear workforce, the nuclear field is missing out on a wealth of talent and expertise.
Attracting women to careers in nuclear science and technology and providing an environment for them to thrive in and progress are important in meeting the demand for a nuclear workforce of the 21st century.
