The Role of IAEA
The role of the Agency in E&T is:
To encourage the exchange of informationamong its Member States
to assist in the transfer of knowledge fromexisting centres of competence to centres of
growth and need

RWM Training
Training courses and Workshops generallyorganized through IAEA Technical Cooperationprogrammes
Different levels of training: awareness building
hands-on skills development
in-depth knowledge transfer in specialist technical
areas Training sometimes provided in the various
official languages of the IAEA

RWM Training Challenges
Training and information sharing needs of MScontinually changing (impact of Fukushima,)
Training demands of MS driven by expansion oftheir needs and plans (e.g. Newcomers to NP)
High turnover amongst RWM trainees (retirement,new entrants, movement from RWM to new-build
Agency manpower and budgets severely limited
Practitioners in MS need & expect prompt sharing ofLessons Learned and Good Practices

Meeting training needs through innovation
The IAEA has established RWM Networks engagingboth those with developed programmes and those
striving to develop them
These Networks are key to both delivery of training andcommunications amongst practitioners
The RWM Networks united and supported by aninnovative networking tool: CONNECT
CONNECT enables both online-interaction andcollaboration amongst practitioners

RWM Networks: Reaching Practitioners
Geological Disposal (URF Network, establishedin 2001);
Decommissioning of nuclear facilities (IDN,established in 2006);
Near-Surface Disposal of LLW (DISPONET,established in 2009);
Environmental Remediation of radioactivelycontaminated sites and environmental
management of active sites (ENVIRONET,established in 2009); and
Characterisation of LILW (LABONET,established in 2010)

Face-to-Face Training through Network
2003 to 2010: The URFNetwork organized 23 trainingcourses and workshops forover 250 candidates from25 countries
Venues: Europe (12),
North America (7), Asia (1) 8 courses on the fundamental
aspects of geological disposal
15 events concerned:
numerical modelling (4) stakeholder involvement (3) other specialized topics on
geological disposal (8)

eLearning - The Vision
A comprehensive and structured library of highquality e-Learning materials
Comprising pre-recorded lectures, real-timelectures, interactive programmes, videos, reports,
databases and other resources The e-learning materials and services will be
globally available on demand
Use to be made of robust, reliable and user-friendly internet and PC-based delivery channels

eLearning Curriculum Development
Development of a structured curriculum of eLearningmaterials to be available via CONNECT
Modules are being designed and made for Pre-Disposal,Disposal, Decommissioning, Environmental Remediation
and the Management of disused sources
Most modules comprise visually stimulating talkinghead lectures with videos, animations and an interactive
quiz

CONNECT: Innovation Cornerstone
Connecting the Network of Networks for EnhancedCommunications and Training in Radioactive WasteManagement, Decommissioning and Environmental
Remediation
CONNECT is a concept and a tool to facilitateinteractions between individuals and organisations involved
in all aspects of radioactive waste management.
It will allow users to communicate directly with others innear real-time, either on a one-on-one basis or with
multiple users.

Next Steps
Complete implementation of CONNECT: A Pilot versionprovided by Sandia will be available in Nov 2011.
Expand functionality, prepare and load initial e-learningmaterials via major support available from EC (2012+)
Integrate CONNECT into the training and support topractitioners via TC Regional and Inter-regional Projects
(2012-2014)
Evaluate potential for training centres in strategicregional locations (maximize use of local expertise)
