high school education to encourage

students to proceed to higher education in

science and engineering including nuclear

field

Sub-Working Group (2)：

Basic nuclear education at

university-level

To reinforce basic education on

nuclear technologies and related

subjects at universities and colleges,

and to rebuild professional education

systems on nuclear energy and

technology Sub-Working Group (3)：

Support for countries which plan to

introduce NPPs

Sub-Working Group (4)：

HRD of internationally-minded

engineers

Sub-Working Group (5)： HRD of engineers in nuclear industry

To support nuclear HRD in countries

that plan to introduce nuclear energy

(NPP) in the near future To train young generations engineers

to become internationally-minded

talented persons

To support transfer of nuclear-related

knowledge, skills, and experience (know-

how) to engineers of next generations
