The Need for Open Source Textbooks for Nuclear Workforce Training -11384

چکیده
There is a concern for the lack of trained workforce for when future nuclear power plants begin to be built in the United States (US). One way to reduce this concern is with the adoption of open source textbooks within current and future organizations. Open source textbooks can be used to increase the training materials available for a diverse workforce, significantly decreasing the cost of using textbooks for training, and mitigating problems with current copyright laws in respect to textbook utilization. Multiple organizations have made it easier for people to develop open source textbooks, two of which, Wikibooks and Connexions, can be valuable tools for any type of organization.
