再処理施設の工程管理,計量管理及び保障措置にかかわる分析は、核燃料再処理プラントを運転するうえで非常に重要であり、分析作業にかかわわる技術者の人材育成は重要な課題とされてきた。本発表は、東海再処理施設における分析技術者の人材育成について、最近の経験をもとにその有効性について述べたものである。

Analytical activities handling radioactive materials involve quite tedious procedures, and require highly skilled operators for obtaining reliable results with a high degree of accuracy. Therefore, analytical performance depend much on human ability. In order to maintain human resources at higher level, education and personnel training should be conducted by proper measures based on a system. At TRP, skill test in a laboratory authorization system was established for the engineers of the analytical laboratory, and has been implemented for several years. According to the levels of the required skill, the engineers are trained and educated to obtain the license in the system. Persons who desire to acquire more practical techniques or skills by carrying out on-the-job training are examined in the system. This experience has been confirmed by exercises done in the currently operating TRP. This paper presents our analytical activities and training program we have applied over recent years.
