Capacity Building is a systematic & integrated approach to develop and continuously improve governmental, organizational and individual competences & capabilities necessary for achieving safe, secure and sustainable NP program

Trends and Issues (1)

6

E&T has become more systematic and specialized in addressing emerging issues

Planning • Implemented based on self assessment

Programs • Expanded and more specialized • Addressed emerging issues, e.g. - safety/security & culture,

- stakeholder involvement, - project management.

• Enhanced by use of SAT

Methodology • Innovative (e.g. ICT), diversified and customized

Infrastructure • Built & strengthened

Cooperation • Promoted nationally & internationally

Korean Experience of Nuclear E&T

Nuclear Project with Manpower Training

9

First Korean President, Dr. Syngman Rhee, groundbreaking the site for the first nuclear research reactor in Korea

Capable workforce was a key for the development of nuclear energy

- Manpower training : priority No.1 - Pre-investment for manpower training

237 people were sent abroad for nuclear E&T Trained personnel played a ‘core role’ in the Korean nuclear energy programme

10

Comprehensive Nuclear Energy Promotion Plan (CNEPP) - Establish every 5 years for the promotion of nuclear R&D and industry

The 4th CNEPP include HRD issues: - Establish a proactive nuclear HRD system - Cultivate highly skilled on-site manpower and recruitment support - Develop professionals from university to research field

Nuclear Policy and Plan in Korea

Contribution to National Economy

11

Korea has achieved phenomenal economic growth - From 60$ GDP/capita in the 1950s to 23k$ in the 2000s Key factors for Korean economic improvement

- Diligent people with a top priority on education - Political leadership with an economic development policy and a high priority of public education - Challenging business leader

Nuclear tech. self-reliance to national economy - Technology self-reliance resulted from qualified man power - Contributed to the Korean industry with its good quality, cheap electricity generation, and wide spectrum of supply chain - IAEA case study: nuclear contributed to 2.2% added value of GDP

A strong national initiative needs to be maintained, involving stakeholders with a staged national nuclear E&T plan and its execution together with an HRD plan. An integrated competence based E&T for NEPIOs, operators, regulators, TSOs and etc. is an important element to become a knowledgeable customer or responsible vendor. International cooperation is a useful mechanism by which long-term and widely ranged experience from others, including international organizations can be absorbed or transferred effectively in a relatively shorter term, minimizing trial and error.

Lessons Learned

20

Way Forward

21

Integration and harmonization of E&T programs - with other CB areas, e.g. workforce planning, KM - within E&T area based on the required competency and organizational responsibilities

Addressing emerging issues - safety/security and culture - stakeholder involvement including outreach to future generation - project management - improvement of E&T effectiveness Strengthening cooperation - at the organizational, national, international levels - with a strategic approach

Way Forward
