1. Global challenge of E&T

Global Challenge of Nuclear Education

aging of nuclear personnel increasing demands in nuclear specialists in both developing countries (expanding nuclear power) and developed countries (closing fuel cycles) lack of experts in developing countries unattractiveness of technical sciences (in developed countries )- hard sciences- are really hard! specifics of nuclear power technology globalness and long consequences

Site selection & qualification

Topics proposed by customer Nuclear safety fundamentals, requirements, and guides with special reference to site Basic site characteristics&requirements Site criteria and objectives of evaluation Hazard evaluation (natural&human induced events Evaluation of the impact of NPP in the surrounding region Methodology of source term evaluation Environmental radiological preoperation and post-operation programmes
4. Practical example

Modules of the Course proposed by Russian Group

Radiation & Environmental safety Safety culture Siteselectionandqualificationguidelines: internationalstandardsandRussianexperience Probabilistic safety analysis Guidelines to prepare site qualification report External human induced events in site evaluation Seismology Licensing issues

Migration of radionuclides (hydrogeology and atmosphere) Social and economics issues Nuclear legislation: international guidelines and Russian standards Recommended by Russian group

33

Conclusions
HR development for nuclear infrastructure of new entrants relies on the training system existing in vendor countries

The priority is to train personnel for regulatory body, operator and NPP owner organizations

Advanced training courses are available for potential recipients of Russian nuclear technology.
