E-learning for Nuclear Newcomers

Nuclear Power (NENP)

E-learning for Nuclear Newcomers

Is your country considering nuclear power?

The IAEA is here to help!

We have created an interactive e-learning series explaining the IAEA’s Milestones Approach to introducing a nuclear power programme. This approach is based on three phases and covers the 19 infrastructure issues that need to be addressed, and brings decades of expertise to life. Both newcomers and those expanding their nuclear power programmes may benefit from the e-learning series.

E-learning Modules

We have developed several interactive and engaging e-learning modules for nuclear power development:

Module 1

Implementing a Nuclear Power Programme
is an introduction and overview of
nuclear power infrastructure development

Module 2

Developing a Human Resource Strategy
focuses on human resources management,
a crucial element of a nuclear power programme

Module 3

Stakeholder Involvement
emphasizes the importance of engaging
stakeholders in a nuclear power programme

Module 4

Management of a Nuclear Power Programme
explains why strong management and leadership
is needed for a successful programme

Module 5

Construction Management
addresses the key challenges in constructing a nuclear
power plant as part of the nuclear power programme

Module 6

Systematic Approach to Training (SAT)
is internationally recognized as a key tool for ensuring
the competency of all Nuclear Power Programme personnel

Module 7

Feasibility Study
represents an important step in the justification of
a nuclear power plant new build project

Module 8

Management Systems
explains why a management system is needed and
the steps to develop, implement and continually improve it

Module 9

Safety Infrastructure
defines safety infrastructure and its importance
in a nuclear power program

Module 10

Emergency Preparedness and Response
explains how to update an EPR framework
for a nuclear power programme

More e-learning modules will be available during 2014:

• Module 11: Safeguards
• Module 12: Management of Spent Fuel and Radioactive Waste

Do you need help navigating through the e-learning modules?

Based on a feedback we’ve got from users we have now created the User Guide Animation together with the accompanying PDF.
This User Guide has been designed to help you to use the IAEA Milestones e-learning modules. It will guide you through the basic navigation and some of the key features of the e-learning. It will also provide some useful hints and tips to make your journey through the e-learning as easy as possible.

Who benefits?

The e-learning modules target a variety of stakeholders in Member States interested in or embarking on a nuclear power programme:
Decision makers, advisers and senior managers in governmental organizations, regulatory bodies, utilities and industries, as well as donors, suppliers and other related bodies.
Students, academics and researchers in the nuclear field may better understand the "big picture" of developing nuclear power programmes.
Those involved in expanding existing nuclear power programmes may also find the modules a valuable resource.
Whatever your role or interest in your country's nuclear power programme, this e-learning will further you knowledge and understanding.
