Fulfilling the Full Scope of the RCA Programme The RCA Agreement is for Research, Development and Training Related to Nuclear Science and Technology.

BUT no specific research projects have been carried out for ~15 years – a credibility gap.

If the RCA Programme is going to meet the needs of the GPs then ways and means have to be found to: increase the funding for the RCA full Programme (Research, Development and Training); increase the funding for the RCA full Programme (Research, Development and Training); increase the human resources to implement the increased Programme activity; increase the human resources to implement the increased Programme activity; increase the response time of the RCA Programme; and, increase the response time of the RCA Programme; and, increase the GPs ownership, management and operation of the RCA Programme. increase the GPs ownership, management and operation of the RCA Programme.

RCA RCARO Response The RCARO has recognised that there are impending problems with the RCA Programme and has identified key 3 areas that it might be able to support to address the identified needs: Supplementary Projects – address lag time problem Supplementary Projects – address lag time problem Ad hoc training/education requests – address large knowledge gap in the newcomer GPs Ad hoc training/education requests – address large knowledge gap in the newcomer GPs Research Projects – address absence in the RCA Programme and need for research to stimulate the technology transfer programme Research Projects – address absence in the RCA Programme and need for research to stimulate the technology transfer programme

Tasks for the 2 nd WGM To establish specific criteria for the application and operation of SPs within the RCA programme; To establish specific criteria for the application and operation of SPs within the RCA programme; To establish specific criteria for the application and operation of RPs within the RCA programme, as well as mechanisms for their operation and conduct; To establish specific criteria for the application and operation of RPs within the RCA programme, as well as mechanisms for their operation and conduct; To develop guidelines, procedures and criteria for undertaking ad hoc training for GPs; To develop guidelines, procedures and criteria for undertaking ad hoc training for GPs; To investigate the possibility of the broader educational support being provided.
