CHALLENGESvHuman Resourceo Lack of experienced persons in nuclear-related fields.o Outstanding students do not choose nuclear field of study.o Lack of experienced persons in developing comprehensive and proper

staffing and training plan for the first NPP.

vLegal frameworko Mechanism to attract outstanding students and competent persons to

nuclear power field is not available.o Legal document to define competency requirement for key positions in

NPP is not available.

vFinanceo Constraint financial resources.o Complicated financial disbursment.

RISK ANALYSIS• Experienced and competent persons donot choose to

work for the project. • Outstanding students don’t choose to follow nuclear

power fields. Or the university could not supply adequate students for the project to recruit.

Risk 1: Shortage in required manpower for

the project

• Wrong competency definition of certain position.• Could not attract well-experienced staffs to work for the

project or outstanding students to follow nuclear field.

Risk 2: Recruited personnel or the trained staffs are not competent enough to meet the work

requirement

• No experience in workforce and training planning for a NPP project.

• Changes in national policy or legal framework; changes in the project (technology, schedule…)

Risk 3: The workforce plan and training plan is

not appropriate

• Language constrain• Cultural shock and cultural difference• Change in the mood of trainees• Limited information provided because of the sensitivity of

the nuclear power field

Risk 4: Training oversea is not as efficient as

needed

RISK MITIGATION• The policy and mechanism to give more incentives to

people working and studying nuclear power should be in force soon.

• Increase public communication about nuclear power to get public acceptance and awareness on nuclear power.

Risk 1: Shortage in required manpower for

the project

• Close cooperation with vendor to review and revise the competency discription for each position.

• Regular monitoring and evaluating the training efficiency.• Focus on OJT. • Develop Knowledge Management system.

Risk 2: Recruited personnel or the trained staffs are not competent enough to meet the work

requirement

• Regular review and revise the manpower and training plan in response to changes of the project.

• Close cooperation with EPC contractor during project implementation.

Risk 3: The workforce plan and training plan is

not appropriate

• Adequate language training for trainees to study oversea.• Introduction of the destination country culture should be

given to the trainees.• Carefully select trainees with good attitude (eg. eager for

discovering new technology, for being promoted…)• Detailed training program should be discussed and agreed

with the contractor.

Risk 4: Training oversea is not as efficient as

needed

Conclusion• IAEA guideline is the “north star”, which gives clear and

comprehensive information for the newcomer in nuclear power development.

• IAEA review mission concluded that we are “on the right track” in developing workforce and training plan for the 1st

NPP project and gave valuable recommendation for EVN to complete our report to the Prime Minister.

• NPP project is very sophisticated in terms of technology and management which requires every activities should be intergrated. Meanwhile, it will take place in a long time (a decade for building and some other decades for operating), that means that there will be a lot of changes that should be well managed => we really need further and long-time support from experienced countries, especially from IAEA.
