What is the Japan Nuclear HRD Network? 2
Japan Nuclear Human Resource Development Network (JN-HRD Net) A framework for nuclear human resource development, consisting of the industry, the academia, and the government of Japan, founded in November, 2010. Number of member organizations: 70 (as of September 1, 2015) Network Steering Committee Meeting in Tokyo on March 25, 2013 3
Objectives of JN-HRD Net The objectives of JN-HRD Net are: to share information on nuclear HRD, which has limited resources to promote domestic and international cooperation to improve effectiveness and efficiency of nuclear HRD to establish consistent HRD strategy and system in Japan 4
