The Summary on the results of the Survey


1.Objectives of the Survey
  ● To gather information on the functions that are required of ANU among the FNCA member countries
  ● To check the possibilities of inter-cooperation among the FNCA member countries to realize ANU
  ● To grasp the demands on ANU

2. Results
  Q1: What should be the main purpose of ANU?
  ● ANU should cover both development of occupational skills and conferment of degrees .
  Q2: Could the purposes above be fulfilled by other methods in your country?
  ● All countries cannot satisfy their demands within their own program. (Including countries that answered 'depend on specific field'.)
  Q3: Could the purposes above be fulfilled by using international training programs/systems that already exist?
  ● Two countries indicated that their demands are achievable by using existing international programs
  ● Most of the countries indicated that existing programs are insufficient to cover their demands.
  Q4: How do you plan to promote the graduates in your HRD strategy plan?
  ● All the countries indicated that the type of human resources needed in the nuclear field were Supervisors and Nuclear engineers who work at the site and not professors teaching in universities.
  Q5: What functions are required to reach the goals of ANU?
  ● Overriding demand is experiment/lab work
  ● High request for OJT
  ● Experiment/lab work, OJT, real-time lecture, e-learning, computer code exercise, top the list
  Q6~Q10: Cooperation with Existing international training programs
  Type of Cooperation
  ● Dispatch of student to international training programs. The most of existing programs are of short term training.
  ● Inviting specialists to give lecture or dispatch of lecturer/instructor
  ● FNCA member countries have the strongest relation with RCA, which is followed by ANENT and ANSN. Relations with AIT and WNU are relatively weak.
  Q11: International training programs suggested to have cooperation with ANU
  ● All countries have some kind of cooperation with existing international programs, and expect to continue the cooperation along with ANU.
→ ANU should have a complementary cooperative function with the existing international programs
  ● Although all countries are remotely related to WNU and AIT, ANU is preferable to have partnership with them as well as RCA, ANENT and ANSN.
  Q12: Training areas which are lacking in existing international training programs
  ● There is a good correlation between functions lacking in the existing training program and the functions that are expected of ANU.
  Q13~Q15: Fields that are self-sufficient or under development, and that can be contributed to ANU
  ● Three countries have indicated their intentions in contributing to ANU for all the fields of nuclear energy.
  ● Other countries have also indicated that contribution can be made for specific fields which are self-sufficient.
  ● It is possible to cover a field which is needed to be developed in a certain country by contribution of other member countries.
  ● Self-sufficiency for lectures is high compared to that of lab/exercise and computer code exercise. For demands, vice versa.
  ● Subjects which had high demands:
 
Research reactor and applications Nuclear data and physics
Reactor physics
Reactor design and engineering
Material and nuclear fuel
Radiation and isotope application Hydrology and water
Nuclear power Reactor design
  Q16~Q18: Infrastructures that is needed for ANU contribution
  ● Four countries have given the list of specific universities, institutes and facilities to cooperate with ANU.
  ● Five countries indicated that it is possible to have cooperation from universities for the conferment of degrees.
  Q19: How many will use the ANU?
  ● Votes divided into two: 'Less than 10' and '10 to 50'. It can be expected that approximately 50 to 100 or more trainees will use the ANU system.
  Q20: Problems in organization of ANU
  ● Language of training materials (mostly written in native language)
  ● Number of students, cultivation/training of high level students
  ● Fund for running the ANU
  ● Scholarship system
  ● ANU operation staffs
  ● Coordination of ANU and system of inter-cooperation among the member countries
  ● Supporting countries for ANU

3.Summary
  1) Objectives of ANU (Q1, Q3, Q5, Q6~10, Q18)
  ● Seven out of 8 countries have indicated that the purpose of ANU should be both the development of occupational skills and conferment of degrees.
   
→ ANU should have a system which would satisfy both purposes, in which ANU will subjectively be in charge of the function of developing the occupational skills, and support the activities in universities for the conferment of degrees
  2) Characteristics that ANU should have (Q3, Q5, Q6~Q10, Q11, Q12)
  ● The functions required of ANU were experiment/lab work, OJT, real-time lecture, e-learning and computer code exercise.
  ● Experiment/lab work and OJT are lacking from the existing international training programs.
   
→ ANU should have a unique program basing its training on experiment/lab work, OJT and computer code exercise
→ In this way, ANU will have a complementary function to other existing international training programs such as RCA, ANENT or ANSN
  3) Contributions that can be made to ANU from the member countries
  ● Three countries have indicated their intentions in contributing to ANU for all the fields of nuclear energy.
  ● Other countries have also indicated that contribution can be made for specific fields which are self-sufficient.
  ● The demands of HRD in one country can be managed with cooperation from other countries.
   
→ It is possible to build an inter-cooperative system among the FNCA member countries to construct a system of contribution to ANU ( disregarding the expenses needed for maintaining the infrastructure and running cost ).
  4) Expecations to ANU
  ● Four countries have indicated that less than 10 trainee per year will use the ANU system, and four countries from 10 to 50.
  ● A total of 50 to 100 or more trainees can be expected to use ANU.
   
→ From the survey, ANU can expect to have around 50 to 100 trainees per year, which shows a big demand in the FNCA member countries.
