ReactorCast

programs through employment across utilities, developers, contractors, regulators and support organizations.

A strategic nuclear workforce intelligence
platform that de-risks deployment
Value Proposition
Workforce shortages and uncertainties have derailed
nuclear projects worldwide—causing delays,
cost overruns and lost investor confidence. The
specialized talent nuclear needs to succeed requires
years to develop. The ReactorCast platform answers
human capital questions, coupled to strategic
decisions and financial considerations, before the
issues become crises.

ReactorCast also models the impact of policy, regulatory and investment decisions on workforce development
trajectories. Unlike individual HR management systems,
ReactorCast operates at the strategic level—modeling the workforce potential to answer questions that matter most to executives, investors and leaders: Can this organization or region supply the talent we need? What does workforce availability mean for our site selection? How do different technology choices impact long-term staffing costs?
These aren’t HR questions—they’re business strategy
questions.
The underlying modeling methodology— developed at
Los Alamos and licensed to the IAEA as the basis for
their national nuclear workforce planning workshops and tools—has been applied internationally across numerous
nuclear programs.

Challenges and Problems Solved
•

In many deployment scenarios, lifecycle workforce
costs can equal or exceed nuclear plant capital costs.

•

ReactorCast ensures the human capital dimension
receives the strategic attention it deserves, before
workforce gaps derail timelines and budgets.
