3 Mr. Yves Fanjas Academia & Research: Mr. François Foulon Safety: Mr. Didier Louvat Owner/operator: Mr. Jean-Luc His Nuclear reactors, fuel, & services: Mr. Xavier Perrette Waste agency: Mr. Patrice Voizard Rely on France for electronuclear HCB Yves Fanjas 14 May

4 Rely on France for Electronuclear Human Capacity Building Yves Fanjas, I2EN Executive Director 14 May 2014, IAEA International Conference on Human Resource Development for Nuclear Power Programmes: Building and Sustaining Capacity

5 Why can France understand so well and address newcomer and expanding countries needs in HCB matters? Human Capacity Building is fundamental to develop an electronuclear culture, programme, and industry 1 For over 60 years, France has developed a safe, secure and sustainable electronuclear culture and industry at home 2 and has been sharing its knowledge and learning with fellow countries for decades 3 This knowledge sharing contributed to make some newcomers the important nuclear players they are today 4 Nowadays France proposes HCB guidance and training solutions that can enable today s newcomers to become nuclear players of tomorrow Rely on France for electronuclear HCB Yves Fanjas 14 May

6 Human Capacity Building (HCB) is fundamental to develop an electronuclear culture, programme, and industry AIEA s definition of HCB: A systematic and integrated approach to develop and continuously improve governmental, organizational and individual competences and capabilities necessary for achieving safe, secure and sustainable nuclear power programme. Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Pre-project Project development Construction NPP operation 1 Government 2 Safety organizations 3 Academia & scientific bodies 4 Industry 5 Dedicated agencies (e.g. waste) No involvement Maximum involvement Rely on France for electronuclear HCB Yves Fanjas 14 May

7 France has developed a strong and sustainable electronuclear industry at home France masters a large nuclear installed capacity at home 58 reactors in operation 1,932 reactor-years of operating experience N 1 nuclear share in the electricity mix 75% nuclear share of electricity -35% lower electricity price than av. EU-27 Among the lowest CO 2 intensity electricity mixes globally for which it has developed a strong industry composed of several hundreds of businesses of all sizes From mining to nuclear fuel & its management Building and servicing nuclear components & reactors Nuclear installed capacity in France (GW, year of commissioning) 1,650 MW 1,500 MW 1,300 MW 900 MW Rely on France for electronuclear HCB Yves Fanjas 14 May

8 creating nuclear players that are worldwide references World s leader in nuclear power Reactor construction and services, D&D Reactor construction operation World s largest nuclear operator 346 reactors serviced worldwide Unparalleled experience in building reactors Integrated solutions in the entire nuclear fuel cycle Conversion Fuel Enrichment Used fuel reprocessing Radwaste disposal (ANDRA) Operating nuclear power (GW) US UK France Uranium mines World s leader in research, development, and expertise Prominent player in international research First-class fundamental research Close cooperation with industry and academic stakeholders 1,500 PhD students and 300 post-docs 10 research centres Disseminating knowledge with INSTN Sources : WNN, WNA Rely on France for electronuclear HCB Yves Fanjas 14 May

9 developing a culture of nuclear safety Fostering a culture of safety 1 2 Through organization Transparency Safety reference frame Independence of regulator Through individual training For everyone From the beginning and continuously From safety fundamentals to expert level 3 Through collective knowledge management with everyone successfully contributing to safety during the entire plant lifetime Personal Dosimetry* 80 1, Unplanned automatic scrams** 0,55 0 1,2 1,0 0,8 0,6 0,4 0,2 0,0 and a readiness for safety response to crisis Complementary teams of experts for emergency response aligning: At all levels: Local, regional, national Government, industry, nuclear institutions (Safety Authority, IRSN, CEA) Through all types of actions: Expertise, decision, communication, action * Number of people with personal dosimetry between 16 and 20 msv/year ** Number of events for 7,000 hours critical (average value of the entire fleet) EDF FARN (Force d Action Rapide du Nucléaire) Rely on France for electronuclear HCB Yves Fanjas 14 May

10 creating a complete nuclear education & training infrastructure Academia From high school to higher education (up to PhD) Focus on professional skills and researchers competencies Response to international education and training requests 1,400 graduates / year 20% foreign students (MS, PhD) Research Research entities and academic laboratories Research hand-in-hand with industry State-of-the-art experimental facilities / simulation tools Systematic internships of students Industry Learn to operate NPP in a safe and competitive way On-site operation-like experience using simulators Full-scale NPP models allowing to train the entire supply chain staff Systematic internships of students Paris-Saclay campus CEA, research laboratory CETIC center, founded by EDF & AREVA Job-ready for nuclear (industry and research) Sharing of cutting-edge nuclear expertise Real-life conditions preparing for ever safer operations This infrastructure constitutes exceptional training facilities Rely on France for electronuclear HCB Yves Fanjas 14 May

11 and has been sharing its knowledge and learning with other countries for decades Areas of support Knowledge and learning sharing Examples HCB 40+ years of successful HCB guidance and cooperation with fellow countries since 1970 s. Education and training (all types) NPP operation partnerships with top universities worldwide. Set up of joint training centers. trainees from foreign operators trained over the last 30 years. reactors supported, out of the 435 in operation (i.e. 80% of nuclear global fleet), with products and services. Localization 100% (up to) sustainable development potential of local nuclear industries both NPP and fuel cycle through technology transfer and skills development, including R&D support. Rely on France for electronuclear HCB Yves Fanjas 14 May

12 France can propose an HCB support depending on the newcomer s current situation and nuclear objectives Country s current situation and objectives France can propose a country roadmap, based on its own experience and AIEA recommendations 1. Fleet size 2. Localization 3. HR Building upon its entire experience and infrastructure, France proposes HCB guidance and customized or tailor-made solutions that can enable today s newcomers to become nuclear players of tomorrow Rely on France for electronuclear HCB Yves Fanjas 14 May

13 Examples of HCB guidance and training solutions propositions from France Networking through international organizations and bilateral cooperation Experience feedback and sharing Training for different job positions Full scope analysis of a country s HCB and HRD needs 60 years of experience Support in drawing up a national HRD master plan Training facilities Support in developing a strong nuclear safety culture Training of senior executives Support in developing educational and vocational training programmes Expertise covering all topics and infrastructures as described in IAEA guidelines Transfer of know-how Support in developing training centres in other countries Rely on France for electronuclear HCB Yves Fanjas 14 May

14 Examples of HCB guidance and training solutions propositions from France Seminars «à la carte» High school and Higher education Innovative pedagogical methods (distant learning, including distant lab work on) Training centers with full-scale mock-ups of NPP components NPP simulators Tutoring Types of Education & Training Vocational training Regulatory (mandatory) training Training facilities Study tours Train the trainers Reskilling / retraining (e.g. bringing nuclear skills to employees from the fossil or hydro sectors) Training facilities and courses for safety, construction, operation, emergency planning, supply chain, etc. National nuclear campus Rely on France for electronuclear HCB Yves Fanjas 14 May
