Enhancing Nuclear Education and Training Capabilities in Spain

1. Nuclear Education and Training Capabilities in Spain CEIDEN F+ July 2012

2. Outline Nuclear sector and its regulation in Spain. Study of capabilities of the Spanish Nuclear Industry for a New Nuclear Project Making a Spanish map for nuclear R&D Increased relations with Latin America in the field of nuclear R&D CEIDEN F+ Current programs at CEIDEN R&D Technology Platform

3. BACKGROUND CEIDEN F+ • E&T working group constituted since the beginning of CEIDEN association (1999). • Original E&T working group composed basically of universities and focussed in Education • In 2011, upon CNS proposal, the Management Council of CEIDEN approved the updating of the E&T group, which was denominated “CEIDEN F+”

4. TERMS of REFERENCE of CEIDEN F+ • SCOPE: nuclear education nuclear training nuclear knowledge management (KM) • CEIDEN F+ co-chaired by: • CIEMAT. National research centre + TSO of the regulator (CSN) • TECNATOM. Nuclear services company & leader in nuclear training. • Every Spanish organization involved in nuclear E&T invited to participate in CEIDEN F+

5. CEIDEN F+ members Regulatory body: CSN Research center and TSO: CIEMAT Universities:UAB (Barcelona), UPM (Madrid), UPV (P Vasco) Engineering and services companies: TECNATOM, Thunder simulation, Indra Utility: ENDESA Uranium mining and fuel manufacturing: ENUSA Industry association: Spanish nuclear industry forum

6. Goal and activities • Goal: to coordinate all the Spanish organizations involved in nuclear E&T, to allow or help the participation in national and mainly international initiatives in this field to improve our international position • Main current activities: • Updating and improvement of the Spanish catalogue of nuclear energy and technology education (Masters) • Making an Spanish catalogue of nuclear energy and technology training capacities • Making contacts with European and other groups to allow the Spanish participation in international projects • Increased relations with Latin America in the field of nuclear R&D and E&T to share information and resources and to better know the main needs on nuclear E&T of the region
