FNCA 2000 Workshop on Human Resources Development

Workshop-FNCA2000

The second Workshop on Human Resources Development in the Nuclear Field was held on November 27 and 28, 2000, at the Tokai Research Establishment by the Science and Technology Agency (STA)*of Japan JAERI. Participating countries were China, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. 39 people participated: 22 members and 17 observers. The participant list and the Workshop program are attached as Attachment 1 and Attachment 2, respectively. On the first day of the Workshop, presentations were made by each countries on the HRD needs in the nuclear field. On the second day, the needs of each country were classified into three areas, i.e., training needs, training techniques, and infrastructures. Dr. Sueo Machi of the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum (JAIF), the Japanese Coordinator proposed 4 items for possible collaboration. The possibility of the collaboration in the 4 items were discussed.
 
* It was re-organized to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)
of Japan from 2001
 
Participants in the Second Workshop on the Human Resource Development
 
Report, Proceedings and results
 
1) In addition to the clarification of issues and needs in each country and the mutual support activities for the needs, it was agreed to study the following four items:
 
a. Assist the formulation of HRD strategy in each country
b. Provide HRD scenario to secure safety in RI and research reactor utilization
c. Investigate the HRD scenario for young generation
d. Propose items for improvement of STA Scientists Exchange Program It was agreed to hold the next workshop in Korea in 2001.
   
2) Workshop results and summary
 
a. This Workshop was the first gathering of human resources development officers in Asia under the new FNCA framework. It was a significant occasion from the perspective of international exchanges.
The HRD needs in each participating country were identified and classified through discussions as shown in Table 1.
b. In order to support the HRD program conducted by the training institutions in Asian countries, the result of the Workshop will be reflected effectively in the various kinds of training program in our country.
c. The 3rd day program "Presentations on International Training and Education in Japan for Asian countries", which was held together with the 2nd HRD workshop was useful for understanding the present status in Japan and also useful for Japanese participants to be able to grasp the whole idea of it.
