Romania today tries to come back to industrialization, which means another twenty years to get where they were fifty years ago, and “nuclear industry” is not done very easily, stated on Wednesday Catalin Dragostin, expert in energy at the Patronage of Domestic Investors (PIAROM) and general manager with Energy Serv. Asked if Romania knows where to take specialists in nuclear energy in the future, Dragostin answered “What could I tell you?’ Units 1 and 2 were made with equipments, many of them designed for the future in Romania. IMGB has a mall on its territory, Vulcan has another mall on its territory. There are many collateral industries horizontally which contributed to the nuclear programme 1 and 2 and which do not exist today anymore’. ‘We try today to make again something which will take us about twenty years to get where we started fifty years ago’ (…) So, the nuclear industry is not done easily, overnight’ he added. In her turn, Elena Petrescu, manager with Communication, Sustainability and Relations with investors with Nuclearelectrica, stated that training for a specialist in the domain of nuclear energy takes more than eight years, and the company she represents has partnership with the universities to recruit students, but starts to look for ‘ young age’. Similarly, SNN ensures the training of the workforce within the company. According to her, projects of citizen-science should be developed, as the trend in the US or Canada is to draw attention to children starting with primary school.
