1. International Cooperation and the Role of Academic Societiesfor the Peaceful Use of Nuclear Power 2010 International Cooperation for the Peaceful Use of Nuclear Power October 20, 2010, Jeju Takashi Sawada Vice president, Atomic Energy Society of Japan

2. Contents • Types of International Cooperation • Examples of Japanese International Cooperation in Asia Region • The Role of Academic Society

3. Types of International Collaboration :Japanese Case • InternationalIAEA, OECD/NEA, UNSCEAR etc. • Regional FNCA（Forum for Nuclear Cooperation in Asia), ANSN (Asian Nuclear Safety Network), RCA(Regional Cooperative Agreement for Research, Development and Training to Nuclear Science and Technology) etc. • Bilateral Japan- Korea, China, USA, France, Germany, Sweden, Great Britain, Italy etc.

4. ANSN • Japan has supported Asian countries to enhance their infrastructure of emergency countermeasures and response for nuclear installations in an operation of the ANSN, which is a part of the IAEA cooperation business to Asia. • Participating countries and organization Japan: NISA/JNES Vietnam: VAEC Korea: KINS/KAERI etc. Thailand: OAP China: CAEA/BINE France: EdF Indonesia: BAPTEN/BATAN Germany: GRS Malaysia: AELB Australia: ANSTO Philippines: PNRI USA: ANL Singapore: NEA

5. Developing Stage and International Cooperation(1)

6. Developing Stage and International Cooperation(2)

7. Recommendation(1) Networking and international/regional/bilateral cooperation be considered as an essential element in nuclear energy program • Learning experiences/lessons learned from countries already engaged in nuclear power program through International organizations (IAEA, WANO) and regional cooperation • Guidelines from international organizations such as IAEA (infrastructure building over 19 topical issues including legal, regulatory, human resources, industrial involvement etc.) • Regional sharing of resources would benefit not only in infrastructure building but also in operation & maintenance of NPP Examples : ANSN, FNRBA (Forum of Nuclear Regulatory Bodies in Africa), FNCA, RCA, African regulators, GCC(Gulf Cooperative Council), Baltic countries

8. TECDOC 1522 “Sharing nuclear power infrastructure” (2006 October) • Potential exists for; • Grid system • Human resources development • by establishing regional training centre • by utilizing under-utilized Research • Reactors • Localization of industrial capacity • Maintenance and In-service inspection • Models for national legal framework • Research and development • Further • Waste management and disposal etc. 8

9. Examples of Japanese International Cooperation in Asia Region • Active implementation of information exchange meetings and safety-related seminars with Asian Countries • Japan-China-South Korea Top Regulators Meeting On Nuclear Safety(2008-) • Japan-China Nuclear Safety Seminar (1996-) • Japan-South Korea Safety Information Exchange Meeting(1991-2007) • Japan-China Information Exchange Meeting (1995-2007) 2) Training projects are implemented for China and Vietnam to nurture human resources for nuclear safety • Training project for operation supervisors (1992-, Total of 201 experts as of 2009) • Training projects for regulatory body officers (1996-, Total of 138 experts as of 2009) 3) Consultation for “Foundation for Regional Cooperation Framework of Nuclear Safety” in North East Asia region • Opening of Japan, China and South Korea Workshop for operation safety (June 2005 ) • Opening of “Japan, China and South Korea Symposium for Nuclear Safety Regional Cooperation”(November 2005)

10. Role of Academic SocietyExample of AESJ ・Ivory Tower at the beginning ・Recognition of Importance of Relation between Industries, Regulation, and Research Organization→Standards(1999～), R&D Road Maps(2005～) ・ Recognition of Importance of Relation between General Society→Ethics Committee(2001～), Social and Environmental Division(1999～), Position Statement(2008), Team 110(2010～)

11. Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) Double check, regulatory investigation, improvement of safety review guidelines, etc. Report Present opinion Consultation Periodical report Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) Planning and implementation of nuclear safety regulations, planning of safety-related study, etc. Information supply, proposal of self-controlled regulatory activities Participation in international cooperation activities, proposal of activities Japan Nuclear Technology Institute As an independent regulatory entity in private sector, collects and analyses safety information and supports improvement of private standards. International organizations (IAEA, OECD/NEA), national regulatory bodies in each country (NRC, etc.) Information supply, promotion of scientific and rational operation rules Presentation of technical information, international technical standards, etc. Needs for formulating standards Needs for formulating standards Presentation of academic and industrial society standards Presentation of middle-term target, instruction for conformance to safety regulations including inspections Achievement of safety-related study Support to safety regulations Presentation of academic and industrial society standards Consignment of safety-related study Academic and industrial association (ASME, Japan Electric Association, the Atomic Energy Society of Japan) Formulation of guidelines and standards Japan Nuclear Energy Safety Organization (JNES)Implementation of some parts of nuclear safety regulations Operation and management of safety-related study Japan Atomic Energy Agency (Safety Research Center) Implementation of safety study Technical cooperation to safety regulations Presentation of information necessary for formulating guidelines and standards Achievement of safety-related study Presentation of academic and industrial society standards Consignment of safety-related study Structure of Japanese Nuclear Regulatory Organizations

13. Recommendation(2) ・Developing Countries should set up the Academic Societies (and Industry Trade Group such as Atomic Industrial Forum)to Introduce, Develop and Operate Nuclear Power Smoothly. ・The Academic Societies (and Industry Trade Group)of Developed Countries Should help setting up those Academic Societies (and Industry Trade Group)in the Developing Countries. ・Also, Existing Framework, such as PNC/PBNC, INSC, should be Fully Utilized.

14. Future Role of Academic Societies • AESJ, JSME etc have set up many Codes and Standards.→Elaborate them with Cooperation in Asia and Dispatch them to the World as the Asian Standard. • All Japan has Contributed Education and Training of Nuclear Personnel Domestically and Internationally. Further Text Books on Nuclear Engineering are being Prepared by the University of Tokyo and AESJ. • All the Academic Societies of the Asian Countries should Cooperate for the Peaceful Use of Nuclear Power Making Use of the Characteristics of Each Country.
