Presentation for the Technical Meeting on Topical Issues in the Development of Nuclear Power Infrastructure 3 6 February 2015, VIC, Vienna19 COMPETENCY FRAMEWORK FOR EMBARKING COUNTRIES Jose BASTOS / Brian MOLLOY Nuclear Infrastructure Development Section / Nuclear Power Engineering Section
IAEA MILESTONES DOCUMENT By almost any measure, the IAEA Milestones Approach has been a great success. It has been universally adopted as THE approach for initiating new nuclear power programmes Much of the IAEA focus in supporting embarking countries has been on WHAT needs to be done Where training has been provided on specifics, through national training activities, this training hasn t generally been based on an analysis of the competencies needed to support current or near-term activities in Member States 2
DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPETENCY FRAMEWORK A competency framework is needed that, for each of the three Milestones Phases and key organizations, links key activities with the competencies needed to implement these activities in order to: provide to IAEA staff the basis for an objective dialogue with MS; provide the basis for the development and implementation of new training programmes (and review of existing offerings). Ensure that IAEA support better matches a country s needs, in terms of where it is in its programme 3
DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPETENCY FRAMEWORK Milestone Document issue Siting and Supporting Facilities Identify Actions required Conduct a site survey to investigate potential regions and sites and reject unsuitable sites through a screening analysis. Identify Organization and Phase Identify Related competencies Approach to Handle Competencies NEPIO in PHASE 1 Demonstrate ability to apply criteria for screening of regions/sites based on: Demography, population distribution; Meteorology; Hydrology and hydrogeology; Environmental monitoring and environmental impact assessment; etc.. Most newcomers outsource this activity due to the broad range of specialized competencies needed and the relatively short duration of the activity. 4
DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPETENCY FRAMEWORK ID # Org. Activity Description Key Competences Source Documen 12.1 2 Conduct a site survey to investigate potential regions and sites and reject unsuitable sites through a screening analysis. 12.1.1 2 Identify potential regions that may have suitable sites for NPPs, based on criteria including: Demography, population distribution; Meteorology; Hydrology and hydrogeology; Environmental monitoring and environmental impact assessment; Geology; Seismology; Volcanology; Geotechnics, earthwork and foundation engineering; External human induced event assessment; Security; Analysis of feasibility of emergency planning; Land use; Archeology; Grid infrastructure ; Oceanography. 12.1.2 2 Identify potential sites within the potential region(s), based on criteria including: Demography, population distribution; Meteorology; Hydrology and hydrogeology; Environmental monitoring and environmental impact assessment; Geology; Seismology; Volcanology; Geotechnics, earthwork and foundation engineering; External human induced event assessment; [competences are identified for subordinate activities] Demonstrate ability to apply criteria for screening of regions/sites based on: Demography, population distribution; Meteorology; Hydrology and hydrogeology; Environmental monitoring and environmental impact assessment; Geology; Seismology; Volcanology; Geotechnics, earthwork and foundation engineering; External human induced event assessment; Security; Analysis of feasibility of emergency planning; Land use; Archeology; Grid infrastructure; Oceanography. (Note: it is NOT expected that one individual would possess competences in all of the above topics; rather, it is likely that one individual will be competent in one or two of the above topics) Ability to apply criteria for screening of regions/sites based on: Demography, population distribution; Meteorology; Hydrology and hydrogeology; Environmental monitoring and environmental impact assessment; Geology; Seismology; Volcanology; Geotechnics, earthwork and foundation engineering; External human induced event assessment; Security; Analysis of feasibility of emergency planning; 1/Sect. 3.12.1.1 4/ Sect. 3.3.1 4/ Sect. 3.3.1 Approach for competency development? Most newcomers are expected to outsource this activity due to the broad range of specialized competencies needed and the relatively short duration of the activity.

Presentation for the Technical Meeting on Topical Issues in the Development of Nuclear Power Infrastructure 3 6 February 2015, VIC, Vienna UPDATE ON IAEA MILESTONES E- LEARNING SERIES Brian Molloy, Technical Head (Human Resources), NPES, Division of Nuclear Power IAEA International Atomic Energy Agency
Objectives of E-Learning Project Improve knowledge and understanding in Member States Create interactive e-learning series for nuclear newcomers Provide key learning issues from IAEA Milestones approach & its infrastructure issues in a creative and interactive way Increase outreach of IAEA training and knowledge to Member States IAEA BRM/INFRA 04/02/2015 10
Target Audiences Variety of Stakeholders in Member States: Decision makers, advisers and senior managers in the governmental organizations, utilities, industries, regulatory bodies, donors, suppliers Participants in IAEA events basic understanding of Milestones approach Students, academics and researchers "big picture" of developing nuclear power programmes For training in organizations in Member States (and IAEA staff) IAEA BRM/INFRA 04/02/2015 11
Approach Scenario developed to add realism to training Bredonia a newcomer country building first 2 Units Modules incorporate characters from main stakeholder organisations: NEPIO; Operating Organisation, Regulatory Body and TSO Scenario follows 3 phases where appropriate, with same characters appearing in multiple modules Uses video and interactive techniques and learning reviews to engage learner and add variety to the learning experience. IAEA BRM/INFRA 04/02/2015 12
Achievements Project started in 2011 11 Modules 11 Modules available on IAEA website User Guide and Marketing Trailer available Waste Management module under development Trailer User Guide IAEA BRM/INFRA 04/02/2015 13
The 19 Infrastructure issues and related issues The 19 Infrastructure Issues National position Nuclear Safety IAEA Management Funding and financing Legislative framework Safeguards Regulatory framework Radiation protection Electrical grid Human resources development Stakeholder involvement Site and supporting facilities Environmental protection Emergency planning Security and physical protection Nuclear fuel cycle Radioactive waste Industrial involvement Procurement Related issues Milestones approach overview Construction management Systematic Approach to Training Feasibility study Management Systems Pre-Feasibility Study
Future Plans 4 new modules planned for 2015: Legislative Framework, Siting, Pre- Feasibility Study and Safety Culture Plan to make modules downloadable, so that they may be embedded in Member States/Organisations own Learning Management Systems (LMS) should be available by end Feb 2015 With funding, to be translated in some key UN languages for easier access Need Member State feedback to improve and further develop Technical Meeting on Education and Training Using E-Learning Tools, 24-26 March in Vienna to gain specific feedback from Users IAEA BRM/INFRA 04/02/2015 15
