Nuclear energy is vital not only for cutting emissions but for broader economic development, Rosatom Deputy Director General for Human Resources Tatiana Terentieva said in an interview, outlining the company\u2019s long-term strategy for building local talent abroad and expanding women\u2019s role in the sector.
\n\u201cToday it is already universally recognized that without nuclear technologies it will be impossible to achieve emissions-reduction goals,\u201d Terentieva said. As digital technologies and AI expand, demand for stable electricity grows. \u201cNuclear energy is a key player in addressing the climate agenda.\u201d
\nBut for Terentieva, atomic technology is about more than power generation. It drives industrialization, construction and the wider social and economic development of entire regions.
\nThis makes work with younger generations essential. Because nuclear facilities operate for 80 to 100 years, the sector must think across generations. \u201cIt is impossible to build the future without involving young people,\u201d she said.
\nOver the past four years, Rosatom has built an \u201cimpact team\u201d of young people from Latin America, Africa, Central Asia and Southeast Asia, helping them launch projects and engage with energy leaders in their own countries. One of the corporation\u2019s first priorities in any partner country is building a national workforce.
\nRosatom is already doing this in T\u00fcrkiye, Egypt, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. \u201cWe know examples where a plant has been built, but the people are not there. And that means enormous losses,\u201d she said.
\nShe pointed to T\u00fcrkiye, where around 1,000 students have already been trained for work at the country\u2019s nuclear plant. Some are already employed, while others are still studying: \u201cThey will tell their children that they were the first people in their country to launch a nuclear power plant.\u201d
\nTerentieva also highlighted the growing role of women, who now make up 33% of Rosatom\u2019s workforce, above the global average. In some professions, their share is much higher: 45% in design, up to 70% among cost estimators, and 35% in science.
\nShe noted that women also lead major business areas, including Rosatom\u2019s fuel division and its quantum technologies field. To support this trend, the company created a women\u2019s initiative first called \u201cInvisible Force.\u201d Four years ago, it had about 100 participants, and now numbers at over 1,000. Over time, Terentieva said, participants concluded that women in the industry are not an invisible force at all, but a visible one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
