He stressed that the dynamic development of the industry requires the regular appearance of new specialists and specialties that are not yet included in the classifier of professions.

"The whole point now is interdisciplinarity. Not just a chemist, but a chemist who knows digital chemistry. A nuclear physicist who is well versed, for example, in international affairs, a nuclear physicist is a diplomat who is ready to involve new countries in the nuclear club. Not just a person involved in logistics, <...> but also aware of how new technologies, including nuclear ones, can be applied in maritime traffic, how to provide remote ports and transport hubs with local energy," Likhachev explained.
