STRATEGIC APPROACH 2011- 2020 IAEA Strategic Approach to Education and Training in Radiation, Transport and Waste Safety 2011–2020”

MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE IAEA STRATEGY Vision Objectives Outputs

MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE IAEA STRATEGY Vision Education and training infrastructures for building and maintaining national competence in radiation, transport and waste safety, are in place in Member States, consistent with IAEA safety standards

MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE IAEA STRATEGY Objectives To strengthen radiation, transport and waste safety infrastructures through building competence in Member States (MS) To facilitate the development and implementation of a national strategy for E&T in radiation, transport and waste safety in MS To ensure that E&T programmes in MS address the requirements of the IAEA safety standards.

MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE IAEA STRATEGY Outputs Guidance on the establishment and implementation of a national strategy for building competence Development of training material and organization of training courses (PGEC, Train-the-Trainers, RPO training, STCs) Long-term agreements with Regional Training Centres (RTCs).

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IAEA STRATEGY Key roles IAEA Member States Regional Training Centres (RTCs) The successful implementation of the proposed strategy will require effective interaction between the IAEA, the Regional Training Centres and Member States. In particular, increased ownership from Member States would be expected over the course of implementation of the plan since this is where the primary responsibility for building competence lies.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IAEA STRATEGY Activities: Development and effective use of competence building tools Effective use of Regional Training Centres Development of National Strategies for building competence through E&T

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IAEA STRATEGY Competence building tools Strengthened radiation and waste safety through education & training Postgraduate Education Course in radiation protection and the safety of radiation sources On the Job training Train the Trainers Workshops Distance learning in radiation protection Specialized Training Courses in thematic areas Training of Radiation Protection Officers IAEA + Regional Training Centres

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IAEA STRATEGY Regional Training Centres EUROPE: ISEU (Belarus - Russian) GAEC (Greece, English) ASIA: NMA (Malaysia - English) AECS (Syria - Arabic) AFRICA: CRNA (Algeria - French) CNESTEN (Morocco, French) GAEC (Ghana - English) LATIN AMERICA: ARN (Argentina - Spanish) IRD/CNEN (Brazil - Portuguese)

GENERAL FRAMEWORK on Nat. Strat. For E&T Requirement 1 National policy and strategy for safety The government shall establish a national policy and strategy for safety.. In the national policy and strategy, account shall be taken of the following: …. The need and provision for human resources The governmental, legal and regulatory framework for safety includes: …. Provision for acquiring and maintaining the necessary competence nationally for ensuring safety

GENERAL FRAMEWORK on Nat. Strat. For E&T 1. Collection of data and analysis of E&T needs 2. Design of a national E&T programme to meet national E&T needs 3. Implementation of the national E&T programme 4. Evaluation and feedback National Strategy for E&T in radiation safety

GUIDANCE NAT. STRAT. ON E&T A practical tool for assisting Member States to establish a national strategy for education and training in radiation, transport and waste safety

Instruments Outcome Increased expertise in radiation safety consistent with BSS Participating MS have developed a National Strategy for E&T in radiation safety in line with the IAEA Strategic Approach Output MS are familiarized with the IAEA concept of National Strategy for E&T in radiation safety Competent bodies have agreed to a procedure for developing, endorsing and implementing an E&T strategy in radiation safety, and National E&T strategy drafted. Compliance of E&T infrastructure in radiation protection assessed Information in RASIMS updated Radiation protection experts trained and educated in relevant IAEA Safety Standards (including the new BSS)

Instruments Workshop 2012 Input 1.1 – Regional Workshops : Regional Workshop on Introduction to IAEA methodology for developing a national strategy in radiation safety 2.1 - Regional Workshops : Regional workshop to share experiences and report on progress in developing national strategy. Review and update TSA 6 in RASIMS 3.1 – Expert Missions : Assessment of E&T infrastructures and quality of training courses 4.1 - Regional Workshops : Regional Workshop to share experiences in developing E&T programme and in harmonizing curricula for various practices.
