HR is the Greatest ChallengeHR is the Greatest ChallengeHR is the Greatest Challenge
Unprecedented number (68) of countriesexpressing their interest or declaring their intention
to peruse a nuclear power program for the first time
The greatest challenge that most developingcountries will face in their effort to introduce
nuclear power will be having enough qualifiednuclear engineers and experts
Must recognize the vital importance of nuclear
knowledge, and that human capacity building is thefirst step in the effective planning andimplementation of a successful nuclear powerprogram
