SESSION H3: Panel "Radwaste Human Resource
Development to Support the Nuclear Renaissance"
Monday 15:15 Room 101
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Session Chair: Ian G. McKinley, McKinley Consulting
(Switzerland)
The panel focuses on answering three questions that form the
basis for establishing an efficient and effective human resource
development plan for radioactive waste management:
- what resources do we need and when do we need them?
- how can we assure that these resources will be available
(with emphasis on training requirements, especially for
generalists and multidisciplinary coordinators)?
- what infrastructure and procedures need to be made
available with high priority now?
Panelists:
Joonhong Ahn, UCB (USA)
Tomio Kawata, NUMO (Japan)
Ian G. McKinley, McKinley Consulting (Switzerland)
Irena Mele, IAEA
Shawn Smith, US NRC (USA)
