Preservation o criticalknowledge or transerringto the next generation andormation o competenciesthat would meet the de-

mands o modern nuclear technology is the basis o nu-clear education and training o proessional staf or ull-scale development o the nuclear industry.

The beginning of the XXI century is marked with therenewal of interest in nuclear power in developed nuclearnations and the emergence of interest in nations that havenot had a nuclear program yet. More than 20 of such coun-

tries have asked the IAEA to help them create the nuclearpower infrastructure and plan to build their first nuclearpower stations. At the same time, nations such as India,China and Russia announced plans to expand multi-foldtheir nuclear energy generation capacities and production.This created grounds, primarily for managers, to speak ofthe beginning of a renaissance of nuclear power.

Expert analysis has shown that the main reason behindthis renewed interest in advancement of nuclear power liesnot only in the positive experience of safe and efficient op-eration of nuclear power plants over the past 20 years. Thisinterest to nuclear power, as well as alternative energysources, is attributable largely to the instability and long-

term unpredictability of the traditional fossil-fuel energymarket.

The technological basis of NPPs, which form currentlythe core of nuclear power and its nuclear fuel cycle, has notundergone innovative changes. The current projects areevolutionary improvements of the same plants that werebuilt 20-30 years ago light-water reactors (VVER, PWR,BWR). Fourth-generation reactors, which are expected topave the way for full-scale advancement of nuclear power,now only exist on paper and as design programs, such asINPRO and GIF-4.

Realisation of the expectations of humankind and, es-pecially, the hopes of the developing countries, as well as

provision of Russias energy security on the basis of a sta-ble and large-scale nuclear power can only be possible onthe basis of innovative NPP and nuclear fuel cycle tech-

nologies, including fast-neutron breeder reactors provid-ing for closure of the nuclear fuel cycle. This vast objectivecannot be achieved without training a whole new genera-tion of scientists, researchers, technologies, designers, en-gineers, high-level professionals in nuclear power and indozens of associated industries. In other words, what we

are talking about is full-scale upgrading of the entire sys-tem of nuclear education, including secondary vocationaleducation, higher education and professional training ofspecialists.

The key to success lies in preserving the schools ofcritical nuclear knowledge and transfer of that knowl-edge to the new generation, in particular, such as theschool of liquid metal-cooled fast reactors in the closednuclear fuel cycle. The experience of nuclear powerteaches us that the key role here will be played by in-ternational scientific and technological cooperation. Forexample, the history of fast reactors now spans more than60 years, but it is now fair to state that over all this time

no single nuclear nation has been able to independentlybuild a commercially viable fast-reactor nuclear plant ina closed nuclear fuel cycle. It is not by accident that theIAEA on the basis of its experience and with participa-tion of eight nations that are leaders of the fast-reactortechnology has initiated a priority project in preserva-tion, analysis and generalisation of knowledge and expe-rience in this area.

But the task of preserving and transferring nuclearknowledge to new generations and new countries (manage-ment of nuclear knowledge) is a lot broader than that. Itprimarily concerns the following subjects:

safe operation of new nuclear stations for 60 years

(three generations of specialists); reliable storage, processing and subsequent storage of

radwaste and spent fuel for thousands of years; harmonic resolution of safety objectives in nuclear

power (maximum transfer of knowledge) and nonprolif-eration of sensitive knowledge and experience (one of themost acute problems of full-scale development of nuclearpower).

It is also necessary to formulate requirements to newcompetencies, which will help people that possess them ad-dress tasks of innovative development of nuclear technolo-gies, and ensure that managers and engineers of all levelspossess them. Cooperation (including international) will

be vital between state authorities, industrial companies,science and research institutions and higher education tocreate favourable conditions for nuclear education and pro-fessional training.

Formation of networks of universities is a key elementin the strategy of expanding the capabilities of higher edu-cation and efficient use of available resources. Creation ofinternational and regional networks of nuclear educationunder the auspices of the IAEA and the World NuclearUniversity for coordination of efforts at the internationallevel, integrated systems of national nuclear universities inthe leading nuclear countries (in Russia the MEPhI uni-versity) gives hope for potential resolution of the nuclear

knowledge management problem as the basis for nucleareducation, and for preparation of human resources for thereal "nuclear renaissance".
