Future Needs in the present Training and Tutoring Catalogue
Top 5 subjects 1. EU acquis, legal and regulatory framework, regulatory role and responsibilities. 2. Safety case and safety assessment of radioactive waste storage and disposal facilities (siting, design, construction, operation, decommissioning, closer). 3. Review and Assessment of Nuclear Facilities by the Regulatory Body. 4. Radiation Protection and regulatory emergency preparedness. 5. External Threat Response Management Exercise. INSC coordination meeting on T&T

Future Needs NOT in the present Training and Tutoring Catalogue
Subject of the course What can be addressed International Project Management how to plan, manage, implement, monitor and evaluate projects according to EU recommendations; what are Project Cycle Management phases and key activities to be undertaken during each phase; how to use efficiently the Logical Framework approach; how to improve project strategies in order to ensure effective performance; how to analyze the objectives and budget plan; what are the most important parts in the application; what to do if things don’t go as planned etc. Public Relations and Informational Policy how to promote brand awareness and reputation management, not least in the event of a nuclear or radiological accident; how to increase understanding of the local residents of the necessity and benefits of a nation-scale nuclear project, as well as the whole nuclear power development program; how to raise public awareness of energy and environmental issues etc. International nuclear nonproliferation regime what are nuclear nonproliferation regime’s components; what connection exists between nuclear nonproliferation treaties, international/regional nuclear safety organizations and national nuclear safety authorities; what are options for strengthening the nuclear nonproliferation regime on the occupied territories etc. INSC coordination meeting on T&T

Lessons Learned: Good Practices
Participation in T&T courses: allowed - seeing the EU and international experience in part of safety assessment of nuclear installations; - getting a detailed information on international legislation, procedures and experience of European countries (Finland, Spain, Belgium, France, Armenia, Slovenia etc.) in the field of emergency preparedness and response; - highlighting experience of some nuclear regulatory authorities of European countries (especially, Slovenia) as a good example in implementation of safety measures developed as a result of Fukushima Daiichi accident etc. enhanced - knowledge and experience of SNRIU experts in control of nuclear site evaluation and inspection during the siting and construction phases; - skills connected with consideration of Operators’ documents on NPP safety assessment; - competence in analysis of accident plans and other documents on nuclear facilities safety reports of the Operator etc. promoted - analysis of existing safety requirements for Ukrainian NPP and its compliance with international standards; - reconsideration of national legal acts on emergency preparedness and response procedures, nuclear safety of nuclear installations, safety standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionizing radiation etc. - organization of social research to determine the level of public trust to nuclear regulatory authority etc.

Lessons Learned: What could be improved?
In the organisation: 1) to enhance interaction between the lecturer and the audience; 2) to specify the content of test tasks; 3) to conduct on-site visits to facilities (though it requires additional days to the total duration of the course). In the catalogue: to divide courses into corresponding levels (basic, intermediate, advanced) so that courses on particular topics may provide an overall and step-by-step information for participants. Among other issues, if possible, to accelerate application consideration procedure (plus providing invitations and reservations) due to necessity of getting visa.

Final Remarks/ Conclusion
Advantages of organization Advantages of participation - profound knowledge of lecturers; - possibility to improve skills, gained during training courses, by completing practical tasks; - presentation of practice and experience of a large amount of EU and other countries; - providing to participants of all materials of the course (paper copies, CDs, memory cards etc.) - improvement of participants’ general knowledge and competence; - aknowledgement in practice with EU and other countries experience; - new vision on up-to-date requirements to national legislation and its improvement; - modern ideas for overall development of national nuclear program etc.
