Experts for experts STUDY IN SUPPORT OF HARMONISATION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT T FOR NUCLEAR SAFETY ASSESSMENT BY REGULATORS AND TECHNICAL SAFETY ORGANISATIONS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION T&T COORDINATION 15-16 JUNE 2016 Didier LOUVAT www.enstti.eu

REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT Implementation of Council Directive 2009/71/Euratom of 25 June 2009 “However, challenges in the implementation of the Directive have been identified as regards the regulatory authority’s legal powers and human and financial resources (Article 5(3)). From the Commission’s perspective, such situations may jeopardise the necessary independence of the regulatory authority. This matter will require special attention by national authorities.” November 2015 T&T coordination- june 2016

THE NUSHARE PROJECT A EURATOM education, training and information initiative To develop and implement training schemes with the aim to share and grow a culture of safety based on existing training efforts; Target Groups (TG) at higher education level TG1 Policy and decision makers: governments, emergency management teams, including international organizations; - INSTN TG2 Staff of Nuclear Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) and Technical Safety Organisations (TSOs) - ENSTTI TG3 Managers and operators in the nuclear industry, system suppliers and energy providers. - TECNATOM Qualification System – Mutual Recognition European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) Workforce Mobility :"Personal Transcripts“ or “Training Passport” Time Frame: 2013-2016 Project Coordinator ENEN T&T coordination- june 2016

WORKING PACKAGE 3: PRELIMINARY TRAINING SCHEME FOR NRA AND TSOS Target Group 2 (TG2) professionals at NRAs and TSOs; experts in charge of professional development and training (train the trainers); professionals involved in the licensing of all types of activities and facilities from the nuclear cycle and the use of radioactive material in medicine and industry. Training Scheme Comprehensive and harmonized training scheme to support the development of young professionals and qualified staff working or planning to make a career at NRAs and TSOs. Objective To build-up personnel able to carry out radiation safety, nuclear safety and nuclear security functions to suit the State’s needs and to meet national requirements. T&T coordination- june 2016

NUSHARE WP3 Involvement of Stakeholders: ENSTTI-NRA-TSO Meeting - 17-18 April 2013, Paris Objective Discuss how NRAs and TSOs can best benefit from the NUSHARE project WP3 Seek feedback and input on draft concept of basic training scheme Identify areas of cooperation and collaboration between ENSTTI, European NRAs and TSOs as well as other stakeholders Participation 8 TSOs 11 NRAs EC (DG ENER, EHRO-N) Outcome Meeting Report (also disseminated among NUSHARE coordinator and team members) Summary of the meeting Comments on draft concept Recommendations In addition to the regulation of nuclear safety at nuclear installations, NRAs often also carry out regulatory functions in the area such as radiation protection (at associated facilities), nuclear security and non-proliferation.

Promotion of safety culture requires a workforce RESULTS OF NUSHARE TG2 STAKEHOLDER MEETING THE MEANING OF SAFETY CULTURE FOR NRAS AND TSOS NRAs and TSOs promote Safety Culture by setting a good example in their own performance : should be technically competent; set high safety standards for themselves; conduct their dealings with operators in a professional manner; show good judgment in regulatory decisions. In promoting safety culture, a regulatory body should set a good example in its own performance. This means, for example, the regulatory body should be technically competent, set high safety standards for itself, conduct its dealings with operators in a professional manner and show good judgment in its regulatory decisions. I will not say the following. This is just for me as additional info. The regulator can promote safety culture in the operator’s organisation just through the mere fact of placing it on the agenda at the highest organisational levels. The operator’s priorities are influenced by those matters regarded as important by the regulatory body. Thus, the regulator can stimulate the development of a safety culture by providing positive reinforcement for good performance and high quality in plant work processes, by encouraging good safety practices, by promoting the examples of operators having a good safety culture, and by recognising initiatives of industry organisations. Promotion of safety culture requires a workforce holding competences in many disciplines. T&T coordination- june 2016
