Demand for private atomic workers to double by 1960
The Atomic Energy Commission reported a survey indicating private atomic energy activity will require roughly double the number of scientists and engineers by 1960. Employment rose from about 7,000–7,500 in September 1956 to 9,000 in July 1957, with an estimated 16,000 by 1960. The study, for AEC by Atomic Industrial Forum, notes no current shortage but potential future limits.
