1 IAEA-NKM-CN NUCLEAR KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES & APPROCHES PAKISTAN S SCENARIO Dr. Syed Javaid Khurshid President, Pakistan Nuclear Society

2 Nuclear Techniques are playing major role in achieving sustainable development Goals - Clean Energy, Climate Change, Ending Hunger, Health, Clean Water, Infrastructure Development, Life Below Water and Life on Land. Developing countries are pressurized to adopt & know about Nuclear Technology and to acquire the ability for sufficient and safe operation of its Nuclear Facilities fulfilling the international obligations. i. e Nuclear Energy Production. A country can t enter the field of Nuclear Technology without being aware of Nuclear Knowledge which is a remarkable achievement of human development Nuclear Knowledge Management is thus very important for those developing countries which are interested in development through nuclear technology. Nuclear Knowledge Management differs from country to country depending on resources, but it needs maximum local participation and sound instrumental Memory Pakistan s Nuclear Base is very small as compared to developed countries but Pakistan is very lucky that it has intellectual asset of well trained & experienced scientists equipped with Nuclear Knowledge.

3 Nuclear industry is based on Skills & knowledge. High growth in Nuclear Industry require competencies in Nuclear Industry & Nuclear Safety. Pakistan's High growth of NPP (3.2%-6%-14.5%) needs Highly Trained Manpower & Nuclear Knowledge Management Field Power Generation R & D Nuclear Medicine Agriculture Total Required Retiring Total Required/year Pakistani Scientists, Engineers who started joining the Nuclear field in 1956 to 1961 are now retired or retiring. (Pak 2000/250yr, world 150,000/75,000yr). Requirement is about 690/year. The question is how to bridge the gap of retiring work force & effective knowledge transfer to new generation, decline of availability of HR & decline in university enrollment in Nuclear Science. This means availability of skilled people has to expand substantially and inculcation of Nuclear Knowledge Management is essential education and training has to expand tremendously Here Developed countries & IAEA has to play role

4 Nuclear Power in Pakistan 60 reactor-years of safe operation experience to its credit, 4 operating plants, 3 NPPs under construction, 5 planned, Well established fuel cycle infrastructure, Trained and experienced manpower to operate and maintain the plants, Independent Regulatory Authority. All these plants are under the safe guards of IAEA MW(3.2 % E Mix), 1400 MW(2017) 8800MW (2030), 40,000 MW (2050)

5 Indigenous capability in the nuclear power sector PAEC is gradually increasing indigenization of the nuclear power technology. (at present it is 20% and has plan to increase to 35% in coming 5 years). Safety will remain on top priority in the nuclear power program of Pakistan Integrated Nuclear Power Planning, Site Evaluation Studies, Design, Analysis, Engineering, Regulatory Regime, Plant Commissioning, Operation & Maintenance, Fuel Cycle, Waste Management, Quality Assurance & Human Resource Development Pakistan has to develop adequate NKM practices to meet these new challenges.

6 Pakistan is a member of Power Reactor information system(pris) International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Nuclear Data Services(NDS) all playing a good role in NKM and is the largest recipient of IAEA research grants Teaching & Training Schools of Nuclear Energy & Developing Nuclear Knowledge To ensure an adequate pool of experienced professional-transferring & preserving knowledge, exchange of information and training of next generation is essential under experts and experienced professionals SMT

9 Nuclear Safety Knowledge Management Nuclear Installations and Fuel Cycle Facilities (e.g. Nuclear Power Plants, Research Reactors etc) Nuclear Medical Centre & Agriculture Research Centre PNRA X-Ray Machines, Diagnostic Radiology & Irradiators used for sterilization of medical equipment Industrial Radiography & Industrial applications of radiation 9

10 Interaction with Global Nuclear Community International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Operating plants (K1, C-1/C-2/C-3) & under construction (C-4/K2/k3) are under IAEA safeguards. IAEA missions for promoting plant safety in Pakistan: Operational Safety Review Team (OSART) & Assessment of Safety Significant Events Team (ASSET) International Probabilistic Safety Assessment Review Team (IPSART) CANDU Owners Group (COG) Operating Experience Feedback: Event reports, Just-in-Time Briefings, Good Practices COG Safety missions World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) Peer Reviews, Technical Support Missions Training Courses conducted in Pakistan 10/35

11 Role of Pakistan Nuclear Society (PNS) It is a Non Profit Organization with a mandate of dissemination Nuclear Science Knowledge and communication, comprising of 3500 Nuclear Scientists, Engineers and Doctors as members Developing awareness about the uses of Nuclear Techniques for achieving SDGs Developing awareness and disseminating knowledge about Nuclear Energy as Clean Energy and its role in future in Mitigation of Climate Change. Holding Seminars at Schools/Universities & articles are regular events, pushing universities to introduce Nuclear Physics as a subject In future like to develop NKMI as a project. Formed a PNS Scientific Advisory Board of 30 Experts of different field of Nuclear Science as think tank for achieving its mandate and new targets. PNS and has a full support of PAEC and PNRA and like to have support of IAEA/IOs.
