The Resource Committee is composed of key people from countries with institutions regarded as potential donors.

In its first phase, the Resource Committee will focus on Core Faculty secondments and the operational budget.

In a second phase, which will begin once the WNU has demonstrated operational viability, the Resource Committee will shift focus to building a nuclear scholarship endowment. To approach philanthropic donors, the Resource Committee will draw upon the full resources of the WNU network to assemble a "presentation team" of the nuclear world's most prestigious and persuasive advocates on behalf of building a larger and stronger global nuclear skills base.

The resource levels involved in the second phase are far larger than the basic staffing and operational resources that are the objective of the first phase.

Phase Two depends on success in Phase One.
