BACKGROUNDTHEMATIC SCOPE

NPPTechnologyandhumanresources
development on nuclear power has been identified
as one of the main issues, as there is a need toconstruct and operate more NPPs demandedaround world, and to replace the generation ofworkers that commissioned the plants now in
operation or to be constructed. Consequently, roleof NPP engineering and educational institutions isvery important to meet the needs of nuclear powerindustry.

The symposium will review the current state of NPP
technology and human resource development in thenuclear area, including nuclear education andtraining around the world. The symposium will also
address practical issues on design, construction,maintenance, and advanced technologies on NPPs.
It is anticipated that the symposium will identify
and further explore policies and strategies needed
regarding technical issues and human resource
development to support both the introduction andthe expansion of nuclear power programs.

OBJECTIVES
The objective of the symposium is to address issues
regarding NPP technology and human resource
development, and to share technologies about
design, construction & maintenance of NPPs
through followings:
 Better understating of common problems andissues regarding NPP technology and humanresources development
 Identification of practical issues on construction& maintenance of nuclear power plants
 Major role of engineering and educational
institutions to introduce and expand safe andsustainable nuclear power around the world andexpand safe and sustainable nuclear poweraround the world
