Atom by the Shore: Vietnam to Train 4,000 Specialists for Rosatom's NPP

Vietnam's key construction project is attracting an entire region: Khanh Hoa, the closest province to the "Ninh Thuan-1" and "Ninh Thuan-2" sites, is gathering engineers and operators for Rosatom's projects. By 2030, 4,000 specialists are needed, according to the "Vietnam News Agency."

The country's government has connected 11 universities to train personnel specifically for the nuclear industry. Khanh Hoa is already restructuring the labor market: revising job requirements, launching recruitment and benefits for engineers. From the total pool, 120 people are being trained as teachers and scientific personnel — they are to deploy a local school. On the ground, the process is accelerating: 835 sites have been inspected for "Ninh Thuan-1", and 534 households for the second station.

The region is effectively being transformed into a service belt for Rosatom's NPP: operators of the stations will live, study, and work here. The bottleneck remains the same — personnel. Without its own engineering base, operation risks becoming dependent on external competencies, even with ready-made power units.
