THE NUSHARE PROJECT Project Coordinator ENEN A EURATOM education, training and information initiative open to all countries Objective: To develop and implement training schemes with the aim to share and grow safety culture, including security aspects based on existing training efforts; Target Groups (TG) at higher education level TG1 Policy and decision makers: governments, emergency management teams, including international organizations; - INSTN TG2 Staff of Nuclear Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) and Technical Safety Organisations (TSOs) - ENSTTI TG3 Managers and operators in the nuclear industry, system suppliers and energy providers. - TECHNATOM Qualification System Mutual Recognition European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) Workforce Mobility "Personal Transcripts or Training Passport Time Frame 2013-2016 10
Working Package 3: Preliminary Training Scheme for Nuclear Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) and Technical Safety Organizations (TSOs) Target Group 2 (TG2) professionals at NRAs and TSOs; professionals involved in the licensing from the nuclear cycle to the use of radioactive material in medicine and industry. Training Programme Comprehensive and harmonized training to support the development of young professionals and qualified staff who start working or plan to make a career at NRAs and TSOs. Main Objectives To complement training efforts at the national level; To familiarize NRAs and TSOs with the EU an international dimension and to support the harmonization of regulatory excellence in the EU-28 and beyond; To support exchange of experience and best practices; To foster a common nuclear safety culture. 11
Desk Research to identify basic requirements & to specify training needs Research Questions Which main and additional regulatory functions set out in the IAEA General Safety Requirements GSR Part 1 Governmental, Legal and Regulatory Framework for Safety are carried out by NRAs in the examined countries? Main regulatory functions: Review and assessment; Full study can be requested: Authorization; contact@enstti.eu Inspection and Enforcement; Development of regulations and guides. Additional regulatory functions: Research and development; Emergency preparedness and response; and International cooperation; Communication with interested parties, including with the public. What other regulatory functions are carried out by NRAs? What fields of activities in addition to nuclear safety are covered by NRAs? Which regulatory functions are supported by TSOs? What kind of training is attended by NRAs and TSOs? 12
Macro Learning Outcomes NUSHARE WP3 After the successful completion of the Basic Training Scheme, the learner will be able to: 1. Demonstrate a systemic vision of nuclear safety by understanding the explicit and implicit connections among technological, social, human and organizational features; 2. Explain the fundamental principles that form the system for the protection of human and their environment from ionizing radiation; 3. Discuss the legal basis and regulatory process that empower the NRA to govern its operation; 4. Describe the fundamentals of safety culture; 5. Explain the basics of regulatory oversight of licenses including the management of safety culture and to compare the different oversight approaches; 6. Identify the different steps of the safety culture oversight process and to differentiate between nuclear safety and nuclear security culture; 7. Discuss the basic, applied and advanced technical disciplines related to the regulatory control of facilities and activities using ionizing radiation; 8. Describe and discuss regulatory practices such as assessment and inspections technologies, investigation and auditing; 9. Demonstrate soft skills necessary to carry out regulatory functions. 13
NUSHARE WP3 1 st step BASICTraining Programme for NRAs &TSOs Advanced Programme will follow soon. 4 Proposed Modules within 12 months Module I: Legal and Regulatory Frameworks & Functions (1 week) Module II: Technical Concepts (4 weeks) Technical Concepts governing Nuclear Safety, Nuclear Security and Radiation Protection Module III: Regulatory Oversight of Safety Culture (1 week) Module IV: Structured Tutoring (min. 3 months in home organization ) 14
