CHAPTER 12 HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT 12.1 MANPOWER AUGMENTATION AERB manpower is being augmented at various levels and through various channels taking into consideration the expanding nuclear power programme and increasing use of radiation for the societal benefits. This is being done through fresh recruitments, transfer of experienced personnel from operating plants and R&D institutes like BARC and IGCAR and induction of postgraduates through AERB Graduate Fellowship scheme (AGFS) in IIT Bombay and IIT Madras. During the year, the following manpower was inducted in AERB. l Two students sponsored in AGFS for M. Tech in 2004 joined AERB in August 2006. l Four officers, 2 each from training school of BARC and NPCIL, joined AERB in September 2006. l Five officers joined AERB through inter-unit transfer; one from BRIT and four from BARC. l Nine staff members joined through direct recruitment. l One student in each in IIT-Madras and IIT-Bombay were sponsored for M. Tech. in 2006. These students will join AERB in August 2008. Two students in each of these IITs are planned to be selected for the academic year 2007-2008. l Seven engineers with required experience and educational qualifications have been selected at senior levels from the Indian industry. They are likely to join AERB in April-May 2007. l As on 31 st March 2007, the total personnel in AERB are 189 comprising 147 scientific and technical and 42 supportive staff. 12.2 MANPOWER TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION IMPROVEMENT 12.2.1 Continued Education Programme (CEP) Eight technical personnel from AERB attended the CEP conducted by Human Resource Development Division (HRDD) of BARC and cleared the examinations in the following topics. l l l l Seismic Design of Nuclear Reactors and Facilities. Preparedness and Response to Nuclear Emergencies. Structural Integrity Assessment Methods. Programming Languages. 12.2.2 Orientation Course for DAE Graduate Fellowship Scheme (DGFS) Fellows Five AERB engineers are undergoing training in TAPP-3&4. Two engineers, selected under AGFS, underwent training in Orientation Course for DGFS Fellows (OCDF) in HRDD of BARC. 12.2.3 Nuclear Training Centres (NTC) of NPCIL Six engineers are undergoing ‘On Job Training’ (OJT) in NTC at Tarapur and 1 engineer is undergoing training at Kalpakkam. 12.2.4 Qualification Improvement AERB Staff is encouraged to acquire higher educational qualification while in service. One officer from ITSD continued Ph.D. programme with University of Mumbai; one officer from ITSD enrolled for M.Sc Degree in Computer Sciences with University of Mumbai. Two M. Tech Students have enrolled for Ph.D. Programme in IIT Bombay and IIT Madras. 12.3 REFRESHER COURSES Refresher Courses were organized on VVER reactors covering the topics: VVER Design, RB Layout, Special Safety Systems, Redundancy Principle, Comparison of VVER-1000 and PHWR, VVER Core, Fuel System Design, etc. Refresher Courses were also organized involving a series of lectures on various aspects of ‘Fast Breeder Reactor Technology and Engineering of PFBR’. In-house faculty from AERB, faculty from NPCIL and IGCAR delivered the lectures. The staff from AERB, NPCIL and BARC attended the courses. 12.4 DEPUTATION ABROAD l l l l One officer worked for 1 year in University of Pisa on ‘Uncertainty Analysis of Thermal Hydraulic Safety Studies’. Two officers are deputed to USNRC, Washington D.C. for one year with effect from July 2006 and are working on Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Probabilistic Risk Assessment Licensing and Nuclear Regulatory Research in Probability Risk Assessment (PRA) Support Branch. One officer is working on ‘Simulation of Radionuclides Migration through Bentonite-Sand Backfill in a Geometrical Centrifuge’ in Japan under the fellowship of Japan Society for Promotion of Science. Many AERB officers went on deputation abroad for short periods to attend IAEA meetings, seminars and conferences. 66
12.5 AERB COLLOQUIA l l l l Following colloquia were organized. ‘Surveillance Requirements and Safety Issues for RPV of VVERs’ by Dr. Milan Brumovsky from Czech Republic. The talk addressed several salient aspects on material behaviour and testing, corrosion properties, structural integrity, material and component ageing including radiation damage, ageing management, plant life management, component lifetime evaluation etc. An Awareness Pogram on ‘ISO: 9001-2000’ in connection with ISO: 9001-2000 certification for AERB by Shri Ram Prasad, IPSD, AERB. In this talk, important aspects like the concepts of Quality Management System, its applicability to AERB, documentation and implementation requirements of ISO, etc were addressed. ‘Technology Independent Safety Criteria for Indian NPPs based on New Designs’ by Dr. S.K. Gupta, Director, SADD, AERB. The requirements for new design reactors like enhanced defence-in-depth, emphasis on inherent safety characteristics, R&D support, etc. were addressed. ‘Right to Information Act-2005’ by Shri A. Ramakrishna, ITSD, AERB. The talk covered various aspects like background of Right to Information Act-2005, concept, objectives, processing of the applications under RTI, appeals under RTI and the implementation etc. 12.6 KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT Storage and Retrieval In AERB, a ‘Knowledge Portal’ has been opened at the internal website of AERB, as part of knowledge preservation and easy retrieval. Training/teaching material, proceedings of conferences and seminars, papers presented/ published by AERB personnel and management information system are being posted on the portal. National and international Codes/Guides/Manuals are also being posted on the portal. 12.7 TRAINING PROGRAMME ON ‘AERB CODES AND GUIDES’ AERB conducted training programme on ‘AERB Codes and Guides’ at Nuclear Training Centre, RAPS, Kota for the senior technical staff from operation and maintenance from RAPS-1 to 6 units. Following topics were covered under the Training Programme. l AERB Safety Codes / Guides / Manuals. l Core Management and Fuel Handling in PHWRS and BWRS (SG/O-10A&B). l Life Management and Renewal of Authorisation (SG/ O-14&O-12). l Radiation Protection During Operation of NPPS (SG/ O-5). l Operational Safety Experience Feedback (SG/O-13). l Regulatory Inspection of NPPs (SG / G-4 and SM-1). l Core Reactivity Control in PHWRs (SG/D-7). l Preparedness of Operating Organisation for Handling Emergencies at NPPS (SG/O-6). l AERB Operation Safety Code (SC/O). 67
