International Conference on Human Resource Development for Introducing and Expanding Nuclear Power Programmes
More than 50 Member States have recently approached the IAEA expressing interest in launching a nuclear power programme. In all cases the development of human resources capable of supporting the implementation of these programmes has been identified as one of the main challenges. Additionally, many of the 30 Member States that already have nuclear power programmes are either expanding, or considering the expansion of their programmes. For many of them this comes at the same time as there is a need to replace the generation of workers that commissioned the plants now in operation.
The objective of the conference is to provide participants with practical tools that they can use at organizational, national, and international levels to develop and maintain the human resources needed to support the safe and sustainable introduction and expansion of nuclear power programmes, such as: • Better understanding of common problems and issues regarding human resource development • Practical guidance that can be used at the organizational and national levels to develop a sustainable human resource policy • Identification of international cooperation approaches that could be initiated or strengthened to address human resource issues at regional and international levels
