FNCA 2008 Workshop on Human Resources Development


November 2 - 4, 2008

  The FNCA Human Resources Development Workshop (WS) 2008 was held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, from November 2 to 4 2008. This workshop was cosponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC), and was organized by BAEC and Nuclear Safety Research Association (NSRA).

  An Open Seminar was held in the morning on the first day, November 2 at Dr. Anwar Hossain Auditorium, BAEC, with about 100 attendants. The seminar kicked off with opening speaces by Farid Uddin Ahmed the member of Physical Sciences, BAEC and Mr. Takashi Tadokoro the special staff of International Nuclear and Fusion Energy Affairs Division, Research and Development Bureau, Japan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).
  The opening speeches were followed by the guest speakers' presentations. The FNCA Coordinator of Japan, Dr. Sueo Machi, explained the World Trend and Challenges of Nuclear Energy. Dr. Jun Sugimoto the Project Leader of Japan gave a presentation about Nuclear Human Resources Development Activities in Japan and its Role in Asia and Mr. Vu Dang Ninh the Project Leader of Vietnam gave a presentation about Role of International Cooperation in HRD Program for Nuclear Application in Vietnam. In addition, Dr. Shafiqul Islam Bhuiyan the Chairman of BAEC explained about Implementation of Rooppur Nuclear Power Project.
  The Workshop (WS) started in the afternoon on November 2. A total of 28 participants were attended at the WS in addition to the Project Leaders (PL) of Human Resources Development (HRD) representing the nine FNCA nations: Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, The Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Japan.
  Dr. Machi, explained about Success story of FNCA Activities for Sustainable Development. PL of Japan, Dr. Sigimoto reported results of the 1st Panel Meeting held in Japan in September 2008, and explained the agenda and schedule for the WS, which was conducted accordingly.

(1) Country reports: strategy and recent status about HRD programs and the plan
  The PLs reported and discussed the status of nuclear-related activities in their respective countries, their plans and HRD activities planned for the future. Additionally from Japan, Dr. Kazuhiko Yamamoto, Deputy General Manager, Training Center, The Japan Atomic Power Company (JAPC) presented "Human Resource Development Activities in JAPC Its Related Activity and Current Status".

(2) Discussion on ANTEP
  The HRD project promotes a network system called Asian Nuclear Training and Education Program (ANTEP), which distributes information about needs and its related programs regarding Human Recourses Developments to forward HRD activities in member Asian countries.
  The 74 cases of the member countries' needs identified in the 2007 questionnaire. Antecedent to this WS, the 2008 questionnaire was conducted in September asking the follows.
  - The 74 needs are still needed (If something has been done, describe the details.)
  - New needs
  This WS held wide-ranging discussions based on the results.
  The 9 new programs are proposed by the member countries which could expect facilitating the future activities of ANTEP.
  Also the follow-up examination of 74 needs of 2007 questionnaire reported. It shows that the existing programs in member countries cover nearly all the needs, although only one third of the related programs have been applied by the countries that submitted those needs. Therefore, it strengthened that Pls need to have close communication with the persons in charge of application submission of MEXT Nuclear Researchers Exchange Program as it is the main ANTEP program, and to check if needs meet the country's national nuclear policies.

(3) ANENT/IAEA's possible cooperation with FNCA
  Ms. Keiko Hanamitsu, Nuclear Knowledge Management Unit, Department of Nuclear Energy, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) explained the possible cooperation between IAEA and FNCA, and the possibilities for example organizing a co-hosted workshop by this HRD project and IAEA were discussed.

(4) Conclusion
  On the final day, the discussion was summarized to have better marching cases between needs and programs. It is proposed to present some successful matching case of ANTEP at the next Ministerial Level Meeting and the WS. It was proposed that Japan would host the next WS in 2009.
  The WS also included a visit to Atomic Energy Establishment (AERE).
