Major International Cooperative Frameworks
27 Major Joint Projects

NEA Serviced Bodies• Nuclear safety research and experimental data (e.g.,thermal-hydraulics, fuel behaviour, severe accidents).
• Nuclear safety databases (e.g., fire, common-cause
failures).
• Nuclear science (e.g., thermodynamics
of advanced fuels).
• Radioactive waste management (e.g., thermochemicaldatabase).
• Radiological protection (e.g., occupational exposure).
• Nuclear Education, Skills and Technology Framework(NEST) (promoting the development of a new generationof subject matter experts.)• Generation IV International Forum (GIF)
with the goal to develop new fission technologies
with greater sustainability (including effective fuelutilisation and minimisation of waste), economic
performance, safety and reliability, proliferation
resistance and physical protection.
• Multinational Design Evaluation Programme(MDEP) ‐ initiative by national safety authorities toleverage their resources and knowledge for newreactor design reviews (ABWR, AES2006, AP1000,EPR, HPR1000).
• International Framework for Nuclear Energy
Cooperation (IFNEC) – 65-country forum for
multilateral discussion and analyses of a wide arrayof nuclear topics involving both developed andemerging economies.

• You keep seeking for chances, and try/apply if they are.
• You Keep telling your view (about your career) to yourcolleagues and supervisors.
• You never miss every single opportunity where you candemonstrate your skill/experiences.
• You keep your curiosity, honesty, self‐reflectiveness, like baby.

Be driven by Positiveness (not downside)• No more good old days (when just positive but no downside).
• Every choice has positive side and downside.
• First, you should think about positive side.
• When you make it, then you can think about downside.
• There are always solutions for addressing downside.
• Don’t let downside to control your future, let positiveside to drive your journey.
