Murakami, Hiroyuki

It is highly significant to establish all-Japan framework for nuclear HRD based on the mutual beneficial relationship with organizations in charge of nuclear HRD from industries, academia and government. In November 19, 2010, in response to the call from the government (Cabinet Office; Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology; Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry; Ministry of Foreign Affairs), "Japan Nuclear HRD Network" was established under mutual support and cooperative partnership with related organizations in Japan, in an integrated manner to promote various HRD actions and projects efficiently and effectively. This paper describes the features and present activities of the Network.
