The Project
“Training of the staff for nuclear regulators”
2012
2014
General
Objective:
To improve the systems, programs, and practice
for the training and management of competences
in nuclear regulatory bodies in the region
Model to
follow:
IAEA SAFETY REPORT “Managing the Competence
of Regulatory Body’s Staff”
The Aim:
To produce original results that either
complement or expand IAEA’s programmes in
support of Regulatory Bodies
Steering Committee on Competence of Human Resources for Regulatory Bodies
Vienna, December 4-7, 2012
Programme
1. To prepare the
Country Reports on
national mechanisms
for the development
of competences on
regulation of nuclear
reactors
2. To analyse
the strengths,
weaknesses
and best
practices in
competence
development
3. To review, in a comprehensive
way, the SKAs described in SARCoN,
in the light of the experience in
participating countries and to
develop a list of SKAs tailored to the
needs of the nuclear regulators in
the region

Programme
4. To select a representative
set of job positions in a
regulatory body, to list their
usual tasks and to propose
the necessary competencies
to carry on their duties
5. To prepare the guidelines
for a sustainable strategic plan
to develop the competences
on nuclear regulation in the
region, through an efficient
use of national and regional
capacities
6. To analyse the
feasibility for the
implementation of
an Ibero-American
network of
reference centres
for on-the-job
training

Findings:
Concerning the National Reports
• There are not,
at the moment,
problems of
infrastructure
or lack of
resources
dedicated to
the training of
the staff in
most of the
regulatory
bodies in the
region
• This availability
in resources
may change at
any moment
• Both, the
training needs
analysis and
the training
management
lack of a
systematic
approach
Steering Committee on Competence of Human Resources for Regulatory Bodies
Vienna, December 4-7, 2012
• There are not
formal strategic
plans for
competence
development,
in the
management
systems in the
regulatory
bodies
Findings:
Concerning the competences listed in SARCoN 15 draft
• The definition of
the level of
competence is
not always clear
• In some cases
neither the
writing of the
KSAs nor the
criteria to group
them are clear
enough
• In other cases,
there is not a
straight
agreement
between the
definition of the
general
competence
and the KSAs
• There would
be some
missing
competences
considered
necessary in
regulation of
NPP
Steering Committee on Competence of Human Resources for Regulatory Bodies
Vienna, December 4-7, 2012
Adopted solutions:
Concerning the model and list of competences in SARCoN
3.1
Competence related to the familiarity with the installation
• KSAs are mostly focussed on the knowledge of the SPECIFIC areas,
distribution, documentation, safety practices and safety limits of a
SPECIFIC nuclear installation.
3.7
Emergency Preparedness and Response
• The intention is to give relevance to EPR as one of the Regulatory
Practices, considering the learned lessons from FUKUSHIMA as well as
to split in KSAs competence that in SARCoN 15 draft was included as a
single KSA, in section “Common competences”.
3.8
Authorization of the operation staff
• It is considered that the examination and licencing for the NPP staff is
a well defined regulatory practice that deserves to be outlined in Q3.

Status of the work:
The analysis of the job positions
The positions considered the most important for an effective
regulatory program are:
Coordinator of licensing
for nuclear power plants
Technical reviewer and
evaluator
Resident inspector for
nuclear power plants
Tasks and competences analysis for these positions will
be discussed in the next meeting (April, 2012)
