I'm thinking that new power plants create a local demand for highly-skilled, highly-educated workers. Would you approximate the range of jobs at a nuclear power plant and the typical level education required for each job?
That is a tall order, but I would approximate (based on previous experience at 2-unit sites)
100 operators: 50 non-licensed (A.S. or equivalent) but highly paid (equivalent to a journeyman level craft); 30 licensed (B.S. or equivalent) reactor operators; 20 Senior licensed (B.S. or M.S. or equivalent)
Currently I see NLO (non-licensed operators) making near $30/hour with built in OT pushing the wage above $80K/year. Licensed and Senior Licensed make more than that (varies by company too much for me to make a call, but both are in the 6 figure range)
About 200 skilled craft (electricians, instrument techs, mechanics, etc.) are required, and currently those positions pay near the NLO rate at most plants. These positions are journeyman with B.S. or Engineering degree department heads.
50 Radiological Controls, Chemistry, and other support roles pay similar; B.S. or equivalent.
Training and clerical staff for an operating plant gives another 50 employees (ballpark); instructors get paid in the ballpark what the workers get paid, admin about 60%.
In addition to the 400 listed (which could be 500 at many plants), another 500 are required for an outage (plant shutdown every 18-24 months for new fuel and maintenance). The numbers should be lower for the new generation, but I don't know how much lower.
Entry-level positions require an A.S. at many utilities, then they will take you in and train for the journeyman / operator positions using classroom and on-the-job training methods.
Construction would require a couple of thousand workers; during this time they also hire many of those into the training programs to eventually run the plant.
