The major discussion points are as follows:
1. How to strengthen HRD for introduction of nuclear power
2. Priority areas of HRD other than NPP and national plan to meet needs
3. How to improve FNCA Workshop of HRD
2) Conclusion and Recommendation
| (1) |
It was expressed by the participants that the number of invited scientists through MEXT Nuclear Researches Exchange Program (NREP) should be increased because of increasing demand of HRD for both radiation application and nuclear power. |
| (2) |
The meeting noted that enhancement of self-reliance for HRD in each country is highly desirable. |
| (3) |
The meeting noted that in order to improve ANTEP implementation, communication and collaboration between the focal person of the MEXT NREP and focal person of ANTEP (PL of HRD Project) should be strengthened. |
| (4) |
FNCA member countries highly appreciate MEXT NREP noting that 1,491 scientists have experienced since 1985 in Japan and 97 scientists are now in senior positions higher than director to highly contribute to the development of nuclear science and technologies in their own countries. |
| (5) |
It was agreed that national nuclear research institute should be able to play important roles on the nuclear power HRD in conducting "the Basic Training Course for NPP Personnel" which covers some topics such as nuclear physics, nuclear engineering and radiation safety. In order to strengthen the local expertise in these fields international cooperation is necessary, especially from Japan, China and Korea - the leading countries having experiences in nuclear power development in the region. In this context MEXT NREP, ANTEP and Instructor Training Program (ITP) have been effectively utilized. |
| (6) |
It is noted that according to the human resource development for nuclear power, each member country should establish the national team for preparing strategic plan of HRD and coordination among relevant ministries, institutes, universities and industries, and to implement the HRD activities. In order to review the national HRD plan for NPP, the international assistance from NPR experienced countries such as Japan, Korea, and China is needed. |
| (7) |
Most FNCA member countries have problem with shortage of budget for HRD. Government senior officials responsible for HRD should make the best efforst to secure necessary funds for HRD in view of important stage of introducing nuclear power and expanding nuclear applications. |
| (8) |
Procedures to access HRD Database will be reconsidered for example by listing the focal points of each country on the website that can be seen by non-member visitors. JAEA plans to visit some FNCA countries in September 2009 to demonstrate the Database to the users (government, universities, and industries) and to receive comments for the improvement of the Database. Participants agreed to cooperate with JAEA's visit. |
| (9) |
The project manager is very important for the success of the NPP project. To recruit project manager with enough experiences and good attitude from other field, such as thermal power plant project, would be a good way according to Japan's experience. |
| (10) |
FNCA activities for HRD of nuclear power, such as Study panel, HRD database, ANTEP, MEXT NREP, have already been conducted or will play an important role and the activities should be further enhanced. |
| (11) |
National training center should play an important role in the major priority areas for HRD other than NPP, depending on the member country's situation such as in the fields of nuclear medicine, industry application, NDT, agriculture, health and public education. |
| (12) |
It was agreed that the coordination between focal point of HRD with national authority for HRD is most important for the success of the implementation of the national HRD program on nuclear science and technology. It was suggested to possibly invite senior level officials in charge of national HRD in future HRD Workshop. |
3) Technical visit
| 1. |
The Wakasa Wan Energy Research Center, Tsuruga |
|
The participants visited The Wakasa Wan Energy Research Center to receive explanation about the the center as well as direct experiences to observe its facilities such as medical treatment facility, some experimental laboratories, and heat generation facilities.
|
| 2. |
Monju, the Fast Breeder Reactor Research and Development Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), Tsuruga |
|
The participants visited the Monju Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR) to receive explanation about the center as well as direct experiences to observe its facilities such as the Sodium Handling Training facility, In-Service Inspection building, and the nuclear power plant itself. |
