Introduction of the education and training courses to support emerging countries Kazuo KISHIDA (JICC) IAEA TM to Prepare Guidance Documents for Capacity Building in Vienna, Austria on February 23-27, 2015 1
Current Nuclear Energy Policy in Japan The Government of Japan stated that nuclear power is an important base-load power source as a low carbon and quasi-domestic energy source, contributing to stability of energy supply-demand structure. The Government of Japan will proceed with the restart of NPPs, in case that the NRA confirms the conformity of nuclear power plants with the new regulatory requirements. 2

Role of JICC: What is JICC? JICC was established in March 2009 by JAIF (Japan Atomic Industry Forum) with the request and strong commitment of METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) of the Government of Japan - To support emerging nuclear power countries to acquire know-how and information relating to nuclear power for peaceful purpose. - To coordinate various organizations programs of cooperative activities with a view to providing one-stop and tailor-made service to each country IAEA 4
Characteristics of the JICC Courses Comprehensive and practical Touch realities on site. Cover all topics and infrastructures described in the IAEA milestone document. Nuclear safety Project management HRD Stakeholder involvement Industrial involvement Cover all stages NPP planning and engineering Manufacturing and construction Operation and maintenance Radioactive waste management and storage Cover levels from high class management to non-nuclear experienced engineers and officials 5
Overview of JICC Courses JICC cooperation with IAEA is providing the multilateral courses. Mentoring Course Nuclear Energy Management School Nuclear Policy School Also, JICC organizes the unique seminar which focuses on nuclear infrastructure development based on lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident.

Challenges(1/3) Systematic education and training Request for consecutive training program Duplication of E&T contents provided by Japanese organizations Countermeasures; HRD network Not only in Japan but in some emerging countries Soft-coordination Certification by universities 22
Challenges(2/3) Nomination of participants Too old, too young, lack of motivation because of not being in position related to the training Job hopping after training (because of better job offer with language skill, unwilling to move to remote site etc.,) Countermeasures ; Data base of participants training history at the nomination process Recommendation by a direct supervisor 23
Challenges(3/3) Language Barrier It is usually hard for both trainees and lectures to use English especially in the practical fields. Countermeasures; In case of Vietnam E&T in Japanese But; Japanese is difficult to learn especially written Japanese use Chinese characters which is hard to learn) - Study Japanese in advance in homeland and earlier selection - Remedial course during vacations period - Use of teaching assistant (TA) For future course Under discussion 24
