WHAT brought us together?
Of particular concern, to the European Commission,
authorities, industry and professional, university based
scientists are
SPECIAL SKILL-BASED DEFICITS WITHIN
NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY AT MASTERS AND
DOCTORATE LEVELS.
It is accepted that skills in these areas are of strategic, as
well as immediate, importance for the maintenance of
European nuclear operations and options within the
evolving EU economy.
WHAT brought us together?
Nuclear chemistry education in Europe is quite diverse:
From full three + two + three years nuclear chemistry bachelor + master +
PhD courses down to teaching the nuclear chemistry at PhD level study,
only
Full transition to the Bologna system not achieved, yet, everywhere
Education in nuclear chemistry maintains high level in Russia
Expertise in nuclear chemistry is a basic prerequisite for:
Broad ex-Nuclear Power application – radiopharmacy, radiotracer
experiments, radioanalytics, nuclear medicine….
Design, construction and safe operation of the reprocessing facilities
Pre-disposal treatment of (liquid) radioactive waste
Performance assessments of nuclear waste repositories, etc.
Training – continuous professional development at post-gradual level
Current situation even more complex
Vast majority of the training performed by the industries (part of the
personnel and human resources development policies)
Lot to improve in the universities – industries interaction
INSTRUMENTS used
IAEA Systematic Approach for Training (SAT)Five-phases:
1. Analysis
2. Design
3. Development
4. Implementation
5. Evaluation
CINCH-I
CINCH-II
History: CINCH-I (2010-2013)
CINCH-I: Cooperation in education In Nuclear CHemistry
Aim:
Coordination of the education in nuclear chemistry, both at Ph.D. and
master levels, within the EU, in collaboration with Russia
Preparation of the grounds for a significant improvement of the university –
industries collaboration in the training programmes.
Three cornerstones:
Coordination of the education
Coordination of the training
E-learning / dissemination.
Funding provided for:
Development and implementation of joint education and training
programmes (including e-learning)
Organisation of training events (three of the developed joint modular
courses)
Dissemination of the results (NRC8, final public workshop, etc.).
WHAT have we achieved?
Surveys:
University curricula evaluation
Identification and evaluation of the training needs
University curricula development
Joint courses and Strategies development
General purpose courses
Chemistry of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle
Radioecology
Dedicated training courses
Hands-on Training in Radiochemistry
E-learning courses.
Electronic tools:
CINCH Wiki - NukWik: Interactive DB of teaching material
CINCH Moodle: An e-learning platform
Survey of NRC teaching in Europe
Organised by the University of
Helsinki
• 69 universities in 22 countries
• Questionnaire – 70% of the 45
most relevant universities
replied
• Information of the most
important university units were
observed
• NRC education in Russia was
surveyd separately by the
Russian CINCH partners
Case study - UK
What is UK industry looking for?
– Development of modular qualifications and training
standards, backed by industry agreed National
Occupational Standards, directly related to job profiles.
– Creation of a Cogent Nuclear Industry Training Framework
(NITF), providing a database of qualifications and training
relevant to the Nuclear Industry
– Range of Job Contexts: Energy Production Operations,
Decommissioning Operations , Process Operations,
Safety & Security, Engineering Design , Scientific &
Technical Support ..........
– Range of qualification levels within each – vocational up to
bachelor +
Cogent is the UK's industry skills body for chemical, pharmaceutical,
nuclear, petroleum, polymers and life sciences business, with a key
role in meeting the skills needs of emerging technologies.
Training and Education Needs
of End-Users
WHAT have we achieved?
Towards EuroMaster's Degree in Nuclear and Radiochemistry:
Optimum routes of radiochemical education
Minimum requirements for a "European Master in Nuclear Chemistry"
Strategic studies
Comparison of alternative routes to NRC EuroMaster
Options for a sustainable financing system
Strategic studies
Identified sources for a sustainable system of financing:
1. “Erasmus for All” - possibility of creation of “knowledge alliances” and “sector skills alliances” attractive and relevant
2. Creation of “chairs” supported by industrial end-users
3. CPD programmes based on modules available in the NRC EuroMaster
4. Enrollment of non-EU students (tuitions fees)
5. Bilateral or national programmes, etc.
NRC EuroMaster
„Quality label“ rather than a specific programme
awarded by ECTN Association or guaranteed by DNRC
could be developed in some partnership (e.g. ENEN)?

existing fragmented capabilities to form the critical mass
required to implement the courses and meet the nuclear
chemistry postgraduate education and training needs of
the European Union.

Expected RESULTS
Implementation and further development of modern e-learning tools
developed within CINCH-I
a unique distance learning opportunity to students as well as young
and experienced research workers from the nuclear chemical
community.
The following tools will be developed:
NukWik - an open platform for sharing teaching material
e-leaning course modules on the existing CINCH e-learning platform
problem solving sets for “Computers in Education”
“RoboLab” remote controlled exercises
simulation exercises
Foundations of a permanent NRC E&T Platform - a future sustainable
Euratom Fission Training Scheme (EFTS) in Nuclear Chemistry
platform preserving the courses developed within the training packages
of the recent EURATOM “chemistry” IPs and NOEs (e.g. ACTINET,
ACSEPT, TALISMAN, SACSESS, SKIN, ASGARD, FAIRFUELS, etc.).
