Interregional Training Course on Leadership and Management for Introducing and Expanding Nuclear Power Programmes

11-22 August 2014

PROSPECTUS

Purpose

The main objective of this training course is to help decision makers and those responsible for developing and implementing a nuclear programme in emerging nuclear power States obtain knowledge and develop the skills and abilities needed for success in this undertaking. Course activities would revolve around three major inter-related objectives:

(i) providing knowledge of 19 issues a State has to consider when establishing a nuclear power programme and the actions necessary to establish the safety infrastructure;
(ii) sensitizing participants about the specific processes, organization and management systems related to the nuclear power business; and
(iii) further strengthening the networking among emerging nuclear power countries and sharing international and field experiences.

The first part course is intended to provide guidance and tools to assist the key personnel in the development of the necessary managerial and technical framework to address the various infrastructure issues delineated above. The course will also help to accumulate and disseminate information and guidance that will help Member States to

(i) identify and assess the key issues that affect decisions on the introduction of nuclear power;
(ii) establish a management framework for planning, control, implementation, and coordination of a nuclear power project; and establish a safety infrastructure in compliance with international norms. It will also be an excellent opportunity to discuss proven and modern approaches "face-to-face", and to share information on needs, experience and lessons learned from the nuclear industry. In this connection, case studies and presentations on experience and future trends will be also included.

The second part of the course is to help current or future owners/operators, regulators, suppliers and other organizations connected to nuclear facilities and activities establish management systems that meet IAEA requirements. The course should help Member States embarking on, or expanding, a nuclear energy programme, develop, implement, assess and continually improve management systems that incorporate international best practices, enhance safety and improve quality management and quality assurance in all the phases of developing a nuclear power plant, from feasibility studies, to siting, design, construction, commissioning, operation, and decommissioning.

Expected Outputs

The expected outputs of the training courses are:
  • CD ROM of PowerPoint presentations and other workshop documents sharing information on challenges or issues and good practices or solutions from around the world, relating to establishing management systems for nuclear energy programmes and nuclear power plant (NPP) projects
  • Discover the political impact of nuclear power programmes and projects
  • Learn strategies for introducing and expanding nuclear power programme
  • Review options for finance and funding of NPP as well as the financial and procurement structures of nuclear power programmes and projects
  • Understand all contracting mechanisms and implications in nuclear power projects, with special emphasis on Engineering, Procurement and Construction contracting management
  • Learn siting related issues and implication including impact of economy, engineering and enviroment in site selection
  • Understand options and alternatives for fuel and waste management
  • Uncover advantages and dis advantages of different reactors design
  • Navigate the complex regulations and legal constraints in the nuclear industry
  • Meeting participants with enhanced understanding of management system design and implementation for NPP project management to enhance safetyMeeting participants with greater knowledge and comprehension of what safety-focused management systems are, how they work, their value and importanct, and how they function or operate in the real world
  • Feedback to help the Agency imprive the guidance it provides through its publications and other services to Member States
