Session 2 (November 7, Morning) : Review and Planning of FNCA PI Project

Co-Chairpersons: Ms. Rhodora R. Leonin (The Philippines ) and Ms. Dang Thi Hong ( Viet Nam )  

A review of the public information activities on nuclear energy in participating countries was presented by Mr. Minoru Kubo and discussed by the PI PLs. The specific results and outcomes of the review are the following:

1. Asia Nuclear Cooperation Network - The FNCA PI website has been developed and proved to be very useful for obtaining and providing up-to-date and accurate information on nuclear energy and related topics within the region.
2. The dispatch of information materials (such as "FNCA Newsletter" and "Power Line" by Japan) and the exchange of PI-related information materials between member countries have served as effective strategies for obtaining resources and reference materials that could be used to improve the public's understanding of nuclear energy in the region.
3. The exchange of timely and accurate information on nuclear energy and related topics among FNCA countries has been successfully carried out through the Asia Nuclear Cooperation Network and E-mail.
4. Communications with the mass media - The exchange of timely and accurate information between member countries has reduced the proliferation of irresponsible rumors through the local mass media.
5. Regional Speakers Bureau (RSB). The RSB has provided valuable support to the national PI events of member countries. This support has enhanced public awareness and understanding of the beneficial uses of nuclear technology in member countries.
6. The FNCA PI project, through the RSB, has also supported the PI activities on nuclear energy of other organizations. (e. g. Atomic Energy Week celebration at PNRI, December 2000, Philippines ; 8th National Radiation Protection Officer (RPO) Conference and Workshop (August 25-26, 2005, Malaysia ).
7. Training of nuclear communicators - The seminar on Training of Nuclear Communicators was very effective and useful in improving the skills of the PI PLs and observers in communicating nuclear-related information to the media and the public.
8. Usefulness of Annual PI PL Meeting - The FNCA PI project has significantly enhanced a range of the PI activities in FNCA member countries. As a result of hosting the FNCA PI PL Meeting in their respective country, the relations between the national authority in nuclear energy and the mass media in the host country have been remarkably improved.
9. It is recommended that the PI PL Meeting should be scheduled in conjunction with some national nuclear events in the host country. Thus, the FNCA 2005 PI/PL Meeting was held in Tokyo when the Atomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ) was holding its Fall Meeting in Hachinohe , the Aomori Prefecture , September 13-15, 2005.
10. The PI Project involves the development and the use of various effective instruments of communications: old mass media, such as the newspapers, TV, books and brochures , new electronic media, such as E-mail and world wide web (www), which are said to transcend time, space and mass.
11. The PI Project organizes various programs for interpersonal communications, such as the Regional Speakers Bureau (RSB), to take advantage of mouth-to-mouth communications often proven effective for conveying human emotions and personal closeness.
12. It is considered important that the PI Project should make an effort to inform the professional community as well as the general public regarding the FNCA's creation, its roles and activities.
13. It is one of the most important roles of the PI Project to address itself to the professional community as well as the general public regarding FNCA because the PI Project is the only FNCA project which is engaged in public communications and capable of public outreach.

Proposed Action Plans:
For latter half of 2006 and FY 2007

1. It was decided during the 2006 PI PL Meeting in Jakarta , Indonesia that Malaysia will host the 2007 PI PL Meeting. It was also proposed that China host the PI PL Meeting in 2008.
