Building a large offshore gas train typically requires fewer workers compared to constructing a large nuclear facility. Here are the key points:
- Nuclear power plants are significantly more complex structures with multiple redundant safety systems, containment buildings, and specialized components. This necessitates a larger workforce for construction. [1]
- Offshore gas trains, while large industrial facilities, have a relatively simpler design focused on processing and liquefying natural gas. The construction is more modular and less labor-intensive compared to nuclear plants.[1]
- According to a study by the U.S. Department of Energy, a typical 1,000 MW nuclear plant requires a peak construction workforce of around 3,500 workers, while a large liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility requires around 2,000 workers at peak construction.[5]
- The nuclear plant construction workforce includes highly specialized trades like nuclear piping, nuclear welding, and nuclear quality control inspectors, which require extensive training and certification.[1][4]
- Offshore gas facilities can leverage more prefabrication and modular construction techniques, reducing the need for an extensive on-site workforce.[1]
So in summary, the inherent complexity, safety requirements, and specialized nature of nuclear plant construction necessitates a larger workforce compared to offshore gas processing facilities of similar output capacity.[1][5]

Over 10,000 direct employees on the Gorgon project.

Sorry Frenchie your negative attitude has clouded your judgement yet again.

Give it up mate, over 150 posts in just 2 days and none of it effective.
