Recent HRD Topics in the Nuclear Field of China and Support on theDevelopment of Nuclear Training Technology

CHEN Gang

October 8 – 10, 2003, Thailand
1.Nuclear power industry localization promotes the human resources development in China
Nuclear power industry localization promotes the human resources development in the nuclear
power field in China. China is a developing country with high increasing rate of power

consuming. Up to 2003, there are 8 units of nuclear power stations under operation withtotal generation capacity of 6300 MW in the mainland of China. 3 units are underconstruction with total generation capacity of 2600MW. 3 projects are under evaluation.
Nuclear power is becoming more and more important in China’s power energy
resources because of cleanliness, safety and high efficiency properties.
Self-development is one of the principles of Chinese government in order todevelop the nation’s own nuclear power industry. In the meantime, developing nuclear
industry can also promote mechanical, electronic, instrumentation industry
modernization and buildup the national high technology capacity.
Following the principle of ‘Depend on ourselves, cooperate with overseas
counterparts, import advanced technology and promote the localization ofmanufacturing industry. China will gradually achieve the localization of nuclear power
station design, manufacture and construction. The phase 2 of Qinshan nuclear power
plant is the example of localization. The first 600MW unit construction period was 70.5
months with 47 days ahead of the schedule. The construction cost is 1330 dollars perkW, which is 670 dollars lower compare with that of the import unit. On the other hand,
the most valuable payback from localization is that the nuclear technology expert teamhas build up and remained stable and intact. Human resources development in nuclear
power field is very important for developing nuclear power industry system. It creates
an economic and effective path for our localization.
Self-design, self-construction, manufacturing localization of the main equipment
and operation on self-reliance are four key localization issues in China. The purpose is
not only construct a nuclear power station, but also through these process to cultivate
our own design expertise, manufacturing expertise, construction expertise, management
expertise, operation expertise and maintenance expertise.

2.Support on the development of nuclear power training technology
Training curriculums, training materials and training experience sharing are threeimportant mutual support on the development of training technology and needs forhuman resources development in nuclear field.
In China most of the nuclear power training curriculums and training materials aredeveloped and setup in the training centers, which locate in each nuclear power plant.
They are organized by the plants and managed by their staffs.
Up till now, there are 5 training centers in nuclear power industry in mainland
China. 2 in Guangdong Dayabay nuclear power plant, 2 in Zhejiang Qinshan nuclear
power plant and 1 in Jiangsu Tianwan nuclear power plant. Their main target is to train
the construction team and operation team to buildup the competency and technicalservice on nuclear power station construction, operation, maintenance and technicalsupport area.
The Dayabay nuclear power operation training center is one of the large-scale
nuclear training institute with all the necessary training equipment and has developed a
lot of curriculums. It has 9000 m2 training building, 2 full scope simulators, more than
70 managers and teachers. All these facilities serve for staffs who work in the plant andalso provide mutual support to other power plants staffs training in China. Nowadays,
the training center is searching for the mutual support from WANO, IAEA and othercountries such as USA, France, South Africa and Korea, etc. They also look forward togetting the support from FNCA concerning teachers’ training, training material
introduction and experience feedback from different training centers of FNCA.
3.Summary of Survey of the training data on Human Resources Development
The appendix hereafter is the survey of nuclear training courses in China Dayabay
nuclear power plants. They are classified in three aspects: Control room simulator
training curriculums, authorization to work in nuclear field training curriculums andworking skill in nuclear field training curriculums. 88258 trainees participated thesecourses before 2002. During 2002, 13542 trainees participated 565 times in some ofthese courses. All these courses are taken from the experience accumulated of nuclear
power technology, which contribute to develop our human recourse. This set of training
courses matches the general requirement of nuclear power plant staff’s skill andcompetency. They also add value to the human resources development in the nuclear
power industry.
