3. Introduction • Training programme in the field of nuclear safety is needed for all organizations involved • Should be considered from the beginning of the programme due to the long time-scales associated • Requires the identification and analysis of what an organization is going to need in terms of competencies, number of staff and background; • Anticipate to ensure that the right number of people in the right place at the right time

4. Introduction • It is not realistic to expect that an embarking country 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 • Establishment of 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.

5. Phasing the Training Programme

6. Phasing the Training Programme Signature of the Contract Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Operation decision call for tenders commissioning Before contract After contract Most of the training provided by the vendor and by the RB that have licensed a similar facility IAEA plays a more relevant role

7. Knowledgeable decision Issuance of the call for tenders Ready to commission M1 M2 M3 Phasing the Training Programme based on DS-424 Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 ~ 2 years ~4 years ~9 years Bid result Issuance of the Atomic law Site permit Requirements needed for bid specification Site Criteria Application for construction license Considerations as whether to embark on nuclear power Bid assessment Issuance of the construction licence First concrete Preparation of safety documentation Fuel delivery Establishing the basic regulatory framework Assessment by the RB Bid preparation Site preparation Construction activities

8. HRD Assistance to Embarking Countries • Policy formulation • Supports the formulation of policies on HRD • Institutional Competence Building • Tools for training needs assessment • Support through standardized training curricula • Multi-media materials • Training on subject matters of interest for embarking countries

9. Training on subject matters of interest for embarking countries PURPOSE: • Propose a framework for the implementation of E&T activities for embarking countries based on previous experience and materials available in NSNI (as much as possible) • Consistent with the actions defined in DS-424 • Cover 3 phases

10. Commissioning Decision Call for tenders Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Operation Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Training on subject matters of interest for embarking countries Level 1 –Basic Training: It is intended to provide a broad overview of all the safety concepts and their application to nuclear power plants Level 2 - Specialized Knowledge: It is intended to provide detailed understanding of the areas important to nuclear safety Level 3 - Specific Expert Knowledge: It is intended to provide knowledge in support to specific tasks to be performed by the local organizations

13. Level 1- Induction Course on Nuclear Safety Infrastructures (2 weeks, probably December 2010) • Purposes • Intended to provide an understanding of the safety infrastructure needed in the different phases to ensure a safe and reliable nuclear power programme consistent with DS-424 • an overview of the nuclear safety issues to be faced by a country embarking in a nuclear power programme from the early phases of the project to the decommissioning phase • Target Audience • Decision makers responsible to manage the nuclear power programme in Phase 1 (NEPIO) • Future managers of the regulatory body, operating organization and other support organizations
