Nuclear Policy –Nuclear HRD Policy trend is now shifting to Capacity building : From Quantity to Quality
1st CNEPP*(Quantity-emphasized)

Support establishing sound balance of
supply and demand for constant growth

Introducing

1stNuclear
Science &Technology

Introducing

CNEPP(1997-2001)

3rd CNEPP(1950s-1990s)(Enhancing capacity-building)(Basic capacity-building)Since the Atomic Energy Act
was authorized in 1958, Korea
has constantly emphasizes onHRD. Universities, think tank,industry established education
institutes.

2nd CNEPP

2nd3rdCNEPP

CNEPP(2002-2006)(2007-2011)

Support specialized education
institutes for long term
development(Quality-emphasized)

Maximizing manpower’s quality
through toughening certificate
system and reeducation andretraining guideline

4th5thCNEPP

CNEPP(2012-2016)(2017-2021)

4rd CNEPP(Networking, Globalization)

Networking among stakeholders to establish
comprehensive HRD system, Supporting diverselevel of workforce to develop global capability
