Nuclear renaissanceChallenges :- Economic growth in emerging countries

Energy demand increase : ~1.5 times by 2030- Global warming

Global target of GHG emission reduction : 50% by 2050

� To ensure sustainable development, nuclear power will be the trump card for these challenge� By 2030, ~ 200GW or more new nuclear power plants will be build

33

Japanese experience(1)� In 1955, peaceful nuclear developmentprogram started in Japan� Key concept is “Democratic, Independentand Open”� Assuring 3S is the basic principle for peaceful use of nuclear energy in Japan� Pay special attention for keeping high level of transparency

Oil Crisis

Japanese experience(2)� 1st phase : introduction of NPP from UK and US� 2nd phase : accumulation & feedback of construction, operation and maintenance experience� 3rd phase : establishment of indigenous nuclear technology and development of advanced type LWR � Now, 54 plants in operation, 2 plants under construction, 12 plants preparation for construction

66

Lessons learned for steady development of nuclear power

� Consistency of government energy policy- comprehensive R&D program supported by government- 40 years continuous construction of LWR without interruption

� Public understanding and support- transparency is crucial- communication with stakeholders is vital

� Safe and stable operation of nuclear power plant- QMS should be established- safety culture and engineering ethics is indispensable- continuous improvement based on operating experience

� International cooperation- commitment to international community about 3S- sharing information and learning best practice

77

Importance of Humanware� Conditions to be assured for safe and stable operation of nuclear power- high quality of hardware- highly reliable software- knowledgeable, experienced, well trained and qualified humanware

� Systematic approach is essential- well-balanced quality management system for hardware, software and humanware is crucial- humanware with firm safety culture and engineering ethics is vital

Capacity building of developing country (1)Key fields on Education and Training � Basic technical knowledge(nuclear engineering, instrumentation and control, mechanicalengineering, electrical engineering, civil and structural engineering, radiation protection, chemistry, emergency preparedness, safety analysis, natural hazard and risk assessment, environmental and geological assessment etc.) � Construction, operation and maintenance of nuclear power plant� Radioactive waste and spent fuel management� Quality Management System (QMS)� Legislation and Regulation (domestic/international)� International framework on 3S� Nuclear liability� Safety Culture & Engineering ethics� Communication with stakeholder

1212

Capacity building of developing country (2)� Different approach should be pursued based on the status of development - consideration before decision- preparatory work for construction- start actual project construction

� Items to be stressed- Step by step approach- Preparing the roadmap and share the understanding- Comprehensive and continuous effort- Strong support by developed countries- Cooperation with international institutions

Capacity building of developing country (3) --Broader approach

� Establishing network with Hub function - cooperation with international institutions

(IAEA, OECD/NEA and WNA) - Comprehensive and continuous effort is necessary

� Regional cooperation center might be more effective and efficient approach� Japan is ready to establish general platform for HRD and extend to international network
