Nuclear Power Plants in Korea (2012.11) In Operation Under Construction Planned 23 units (20,716 MW) 5 units (6,600 MW) 6 units (8,600 MW) In 2024, NPP Total : 34 Units. Planed NPPs will depend on energy mix policy in the future Ulchin 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Shin-Ulchin 1, 2 (Under construction) Radioactive waste disposal facility (under construction) Seoul Ulchin Gyeongju Wolsong 1, 2, 3, 4 Shin-Wolsong 1 Shin-Wolsong 2 (Under construction) Wolsong Yonggwang 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Yonggwang Kori Kori 1, 2, 3, 4 Shin-Kori 1,2 Shin-Kori 3, 4 (Under construction) 3
Outlook of of Nuclear Human HR in Recourse Korea in South in South Korea Korea Forecasted power generation by sources 60 000 40 000 Increase : 61,911 44,836 106,747 20 000 2010 2030 - Nuclear Power Sector Nuclear radioisotope utilizing sector Source: 5 th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand, 2011 Academic sector 2010 2020 2030
Outlook of Nuclear HR in the world (1) Review background for prospect of nuclear power Using 2012 IAEA prospect Applying the 0.85-0.9 of operational capacity to additional units required Assuming 4 units as low development and 8 units as high development, on permanent closing of aged nuclear power plant per year 10~20 units getting older than 30 years of its lifespan per year Trend to extend the lifespan of expired nuclear power plant for more than 20 years in most of nations including US One-third of lifespan-expired nuclear power plant facilities closing down permanently
Outlook of of Nuclear Human HR in Recourse the World in South in (2) South Korea Korea 900 800 Operating NPP (Units) Required HR (Persons) 350,000 331,580 700 600 829 300,000 234,430 500 250,000 331,580 217,660 400 300 620 560 200,000 200 100 500 150,000 0 2015 2020 2025 2030 2015 2020 2025 2030 High Low High Low
Needs for Nuclear Human Resource Nuclear Safety National Position Radioactive Waste Site Facilities Financing Electrical Grid Radiation Protection Stake holder Procurement Human Resources Development Emergency Planning Fuel Cycle Management Legislative Framework Security Environ. Protection Industrial Involvement Safeguards Regulatory Framework HRD is the main element of the 19 infrastructures for successful implementation of NPP Project
Korean Government Policy for Nuclear HRD Enlargement of fellowship program for students Providing intern job opportunities at research institutes and industries Support for updating curricula, linkage with the advance technology Establish and support the Specialized Nuclear School Providing fringe benefits for radiation workers Enhancement of training organizations and its training program Activation of exchange program among industries, research institutes and universities Support for Nuclear education program Maintaining qualified Nuclear Manpower on Industry Encouraging Global Competitiveness of Nuclear Manpower Providing international career for young researchers and students Fostering joint research projects with international organizations & advanced countries Utilization of outstanding experts from overseas
Current HRD Program in Korea Total HR on Nuclear Industry : 23,835 Etcetera : 7.7% Research : 6.5% Safety : 12.5% Support& Management, : 13.6% Construction & Operation : 59.7% Master's degree : 11.9% Doctoral degree : 6.0% College degree : 13.1% High school Diploma : 18.3% Undergraduate degree : 50.7% <Source : 16 th Investigation of Nuclear Industry, 2012>
Requirements for Successful HRD Increased NPP Demand for 3E * 3E : Energy Security, Energy Economics, Environmental friendly Professionalism Diversity Innovative NPP Technology Enhanced Safety Requirements of NPP Increased Requirement of Human Performance Professional Leaders required
Issues of Current Nuclear HRD Department store-style enumerative education Insufficient educational synergy Adaptation period needed
Set-Forth for Future HRD program 정부/국가 산업계 Nuclear Industry Technology Integrated Connecting Government Nuclear industry Energy Diplomacy for Educational Governance System Developing the Systematic Road Map for HRD in the medium and long term Industry-Oriented HRD Government A Need to Nurture Leadership- Level Professionals Industry Educating and training for Global leader of Nuclear Energy Academia Knowledge and Tech.
