3 The challenge A vigorous HRD is an essential requisite for the safety and sustainability of a NPP. To build and maintain a competent work force is a challenge faced by countries and it is particularly complex for countries embarking on a NPP. In such case embarking countries will be need assistance to develop policies to create and sustain a competent work force capable of conducting a safe nuclear programme and to build new institutions or to strengthen existing ones. 2

4 Sources of assistance Assistance is expected to be provided primarily by foreign organizations, inter alia, through commercial contracts with the vendor, technical support organizations and between utilities. The regulatory body will also need to network with other regulators technical support organizations and in particular those in countries with plants of the same design model. The IAEA provides overall guidance based on its safety standards, considering the evolving needs of MS in the various phases of safety infrastructure 3

10 Introduction Training should be considered from the early phases due to the long time needed to develop competencies in the field of nuclear safety Requires that the RB identifies the competencies needed, number of staff and background; Anticipate to ensure that the right number of people in the right place at the right time 9 9

11 Introduction Number of staff: from 40 to 150 depending on the attributions and TSO It is not realistic to expect that the RB will implement a training programme to cover all the competencies required in the field of nuclear safety from the early phases However this should be a goal in the long-term The RB should, in a first step, develop core competencies to ensure that the organization is an Intelligent Costumer Intelligent Costumer An organisation (or individual) that has the competence to specify the scope and standard of a required product or service and subsequently assess whether the supplied product or service meets the specified requirements

12 Examples of RB tasks in the early phases Ready to commission Issuance of the call for tenders Knowledgeable decision Phase 3 Phase 1 Phase 2 ~ 2 years ~ 4 years ~ 9 years Bid result Issuance of the Atomic law Site permit Application for construction license Requirements needed for bid specification Issuance of the construction licence Bid assessment First concrete Considerations as whether to embark on nuclear power Fuel delivery Assessment by the RB Preparation of safety documentation Bid preparation Establishing the basic regulatory framework M3 Construction phase Site preparation M2 M

13 Competence Framework for RBs Training the staff of the regulatory body for nuclear facilities: A competency framework (TECDOC 1254) 12 12

14 Technical Disciplines 2.1. Basic technology competency This competency is the comprehension of science and engineering fundamentals in a particular field equivalent to a university degree: nuclear engineering; nuclear physics; chemical engineering; materials science; mechanical engineering; civil engineering; earth sciences; environmental engineering; computer sciences; electrical engineering; 13 13

15 Technical Disciplines 2.2. Applied technology competency This competency is the additional comprehension and demonstrated ability to apply engineering and science concepts in relation to the nuclear industry. Some typical applied technology areas are: reactor technology; fuel cycle technology; engineering techniques or technical issues; radiation protection as applied to nuclear facilities and to industrial uses of radioactive nuclear safety technology including safety and risk analysis 14 14

16 Technical Disciplines 2.3. Specialized technology competency This competency is the comprehension and demonstrated ability to address and resolve issues in a specialized field. Some typical scientific fields or specialized areas are: instrumentation and control; criticality analysis; nuclear material control; software reliability; fire protection; human performance engineering/human factors; fracture mechanics; corrosion chemistry; thermal hydraulics; health physics 15 15
