National policy for development of human resources in the field of nuclear energy National Project for HRD o A national project on education and training for human resources in the field of nuclear energy was approved by Prime Minister on 18 August 2010 (Decision No.1558/QD-TTG) o The project aims to provide the necessary human resources for promotion of application of atomic energy, including a nuclear power program 7 Designed by Luu Nam Hai
National policy for development of human resources in the field of nuclear energy The specific objectives of the Project To develop capacity of five universities and a nuclear training center in education in nuclear engineering and related sciences: College of Natural Sciences in Hanoi, College of Natural Sciences in Ho Chi Minh City Hanoi University of Technology Da Lat University Electric Power University Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute's Nuclear Training Centre It is expected at least 250 students to enroll each year. To provide enough competent human resources for regulatory body, TSO, university lecturers in nuclear engineering and operating organization of two first NPPs by 2020. 8 Designed by Luu Nam Hai
National policy for development of human resources in the field of nuclear energy Arrangement for implementation of the Project o State budget of total 150 million USD was allocated for the project o National steering committee headed by a deputy prime minister was established for management of the project. o Some policies on incentive for students and people working in the filed of nuclear energy have been approved to attract people study and work in this area. 9 Designed by Luu Nam Hai

Summary o Vietnam has strong commitment to nuclear power program o Vietnam clearly understands that qualified human resource is key issue for success of the first NPP project o Vietnam has a determined policy for HRD in nuclear energy however HRD is still a big challenge for Vietnam 19 Designed by Luu Nam Hai
Challenges Necessary national infrastructure for domestic training and education in nuclear safety and NPP technology is not available: o Lecturer o Training materials o Technical infrastructure Less attraction for workforce to nuclear field: o Hard study o Low income o Long term program for NPP is not clear
Challenges Obstacle of foreign language: o Taking courses presented English o Sent to study abroad o Using English references
Challenges Various NPP technologies are selected: o More number of qualified manpower needed o More training subjects needed o Limit time for preparation of manpower for the NPP project
Challenges Difficult arrangement for intensive training abroad o Availability of received countries in term of time and tutors
Challenges Plan of recruitment is not determined: o Training program is difficult to be planned
It It is is a a good exchange exchange and nuclear nuclear safety good opportunity opportunity for and gain gain experience safety and and security security. . for Vietnamese Vietnamese managers experience from from other managers to to other countries countries in in Thank you for your attention!
