5. RUSSIA “is doomed” to the development of nuclear science and technology, because even nowadays, nuclear technologies determine many aspects of technical, social, political life of the country: • nuclear medicine, that provides a new, higher level for treatment various diseases, including cancer; • nuclear methods to improve the efficiency of agriculture and the quality of food; • nuclear methods, used in industry, which help to raise the level of quality control; • nuclear science for new discoveries.

6. FOR RUSSIA & DEVELOPING COUNTRY: Nuclear technology actually can provide the transition from commodity to industrial and innovative economy, where scientific and engineering potential plays the role of an engine in social and industrial development (education, ecology, economy and culture of safety).

7. RUSSIA adopted Nuclear Energy Development Program, which confirms construction and commissioning of nuclear capacities of 2 GW annually (since 2010) and later (after the 2015-2020) to 4 GW. The Program aims to achieve the level 22-25% (the share of nuclear electricity) from the current 16% to the year 2030.

8. Training goes before technology development and plant construction. Mass NPP construction could be dangerous without careful study and analysis of: • organizational capabilities • staff requirements • knowledge management strategy • knowledge management methodology • competence loss risks

9. Conservation and management of nuclear knowledge is very important because of the following threats: • aging staff, retirement, and as a consequence loss of nuclear knowledge • degradation of technological skills loss of know-how • possible degradation of the nuclear safety and reduction of innovative potential

10. How to handle the generation gape? Russian Federation …The nuclear technical university in Obninsk, which has 4000 students, provides specialists for the most important nuclear areas. …In the 1990s the Kurchatov Institutelost half of its staff, and some scientific institutions simply disappeared. 2004 2030 Russian Association of Nuclear Science and Education (RANSE) Obninsk 2005

11. Distribution of science officers in branch in age ranges from 31 till 50 years and over 60 years in 2004

12. Russian Association of Nuclear Science and Education (RANSE) RANSE was established by leading Russian nuclear centers (Russian National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute”; Obnisk State Technical University for Nuclear Power Engineering )to consolidate the efforts of the most famous Russian scientists and their foreign colleagues on the nuclear knowledge management focusing knowledge transfer to the next generations in the area of Nuclear Technologies for Human Life in 21 Century.  The Association is a voluntary non-profit association of organizations which have combined their efforts to perform joint projects within the framework NKM activity IAEA joint by major Russian research and education Centers.

13. Nuclear power in weapons and non-weapons states (recent situation) Few companies (Rosatom (Russia), URENCO, USEC (USA), EURODIF (France), CNNC (China) and JNFL (Japan)can enrich uranium on industrial scale. Few countries (France, UK, Russia, Japan, India and China) have nuclear fuel reprocessing capacities. Few countries have advanced fast reactor developments (Russia, France, Japan, India,China)

14. Countries are going to use nuclear energy during 2015-2030 and taking some initial actions for that. • Latin America: 3 + 2 expected new (Chile, Peru) • Western Europe: 9 + 3 expected new (Italy, Portugal, Turkey) • Eastern Europe: 10 + 3 expected new (Belarus, Kazakhstan, Poland) • Africa: 1 + 5 expected new (Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunis) • Middle East&South Asia: 3 + 1 expected new (Bangladesh) • South East Asia&the Pacific: 0 + 4 expected new (Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand) • Far East: 3 + 3 expected new (North Korea, Philippines, Vietnam) • In total about 21 new countries are considering to start using nuclear energy during 2015-2030

19. Full-scale development of Nuclear Energy, able to solve the problem of stable energy development, is possible only on the basis innovative technology as close cycle with the use of fast breeder reactors. Developing innovative nuclear technology is a difficult and expensive challenge. Such a decision could not be undertaken by a single country. In the world community, a collaboration to develop innovative nuclear technology could take place in the international (regional, cross-national) projects.

20. Generation IV nuclear energy technologies

21. Unlike other scientific knowledge, free exchange and use of nuclear knowledge is strictly regulated because of the importance of nuclear safety and non-proliferation. But nuclear safety requires a free exchange of information and experiences in order to prevent accidents. In that case, in nuclear knowledge management it is necessary to establish an appropriate balance between the requirements for nuclear safety and non-proliferation of “sansative” nuclear technologies.

22. RANSE Establishment the Russian Educational Center for Science and Technology will contribute to raising the standard and quality of education and to enhancing the intellectual, informational and material resources.

23. The Association Goals : • organizes exchange programs for teachers, students and post-graduate students in the field of innovative nuclear technologies; • carries out publishing activity, publishes books, papers and other materials concerning the problems of nuclear science and technology; • takes part in the activity of international non-governmental organizations concerning education in the field of nuclear science and technology.

24. The main problems to be solved are as follows: • preserving and further developing existing scientific schools and the high standard of research conducted at universities and research institutes; • preventing the loss of talented young scientists to the field of science and education and training top quality research, teaching and management staff: • concentrating intellectual and material resources on the key areas of science and technology; • creating a system which would help to apply the potential of science and higher education in industry, mostly through innovation.

Organizers Russian Association on Nuclear Science and Education (RANSE) MRRC RAMS Government of Kaluga Region Administration of the Scientific city Obninsk Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (RAMS) Ministry of Health and Social development of Russian Federation Federal Agency on Atomic Energy of Russian Federation

27. The goal for the creation of the Center is accumulation, preservation and analysis of knowledge and experience in the field innovative nuclear technology

28. The main work of the Center • Lectures and seminars of the world famous scientists for students and postgraduates; • Participation in the scientific sessions of the World Nuclear University. Mid-term training sessions for postgraduates, Discussion clubs (students and leading scientists); • Thematic seminars and conferences, including videoconferencing and space bridge; • Research work of the students; • Participation in the IAEA program for preserving nuclear knowledge. How to preserve knowledge: mentoring, videotaped lectures, discussions, textbooks.
