In response to the directives of the 4th medium-to-long-term objectives, Japan Atomic Energy Agency will formulate the 4th medium-to-long-term plan and run its operation according to the plan from the fiscal year 2022. Consequently, the Sector of Nuclear Safety Research and Emergency Preparedness has reviewed the strategies of the safety research for contributing to the demand, "the continuous improvement of nuclear safety and the effectiveness of nuclear disaster prevention". It was also discussed how to proceed the safety research over the medium-to-long-term plan period based on the proposed new strategies. From the viewpoint of developing human resources and maintaining research capabilities in the sector, discussion was made on measures to pass on the knowledge and skills of senior and mid-career researchers to young researchers. The main elements of the proposed strategies are: (1) to efficiently and effectively develop both problem-solving research and advanced or leading research, considering the importance and needs on the nuclear safety and corresponding to regulatory trends and introduction of new technologies, (2) to produce research results of high quality for social implementation, including proactive proposal of measures for enhancing rationality of nuclear safety and regulation by utilizing risk information, and (3) to promote development of human resources and maintenance of technological base through challenging new research subjects. This report summarizes results of the discussion on the medium-to-long-term safety research strategies and the research plans based on the proposed strategies.

JAEA has been conducting the Instructor Training Program (ITP) since 1996 under the auspices of MEXT to contribute to human resource development in currently 11 Asian countries in the field of radiation utilization for seeking peaceful use of nuclear energy. ITP consists of Instructor Training Course (ITC), Follow-up Training Course (FTC) and Nuclear Technology Seminars. In the ITP, trainings or seminars relating to technology for nuclear utilization are held in Japan by inviting nuclear related people from Asian countries to Japan and after that, the past trainees are supported during FTC by dispatching Japanese specialists to Asian countries. News Letter is also prepared to provide the broad range of information obtained through the trainings for local people near NPPs in Japan. The present report describes the activities of FY2014 ITP and future challenges for improving ITP more effectively.

In the FNCA Coordinator Meeting held on March 2002, "Survey of the Basic Data on HRD in the Nuclear Field" was proposed as the first step for developing the HRD strategy by producing the quantitative data on HRD in nuclear field. The first results were reported during the 2002 FNCA Workshop on HRD held on October 2002. The survey results were analyzed in 2003, and summarized as "Summary of the Survey Data". It was reported during Workshop in 2003. The report consists of the updated data until early 2004 of the summary data.

This report summarizes the educational activities and related management of the Nuclear Technology andEducation Center (NuTEC) during the 2001 fiscal year. Both Tokyo and Tokai Education Centers have successfully conducted almost all the planned domestic and international training courses. In addition Tokai Education Center has performed the 3nd nuclear supervisor training course and introduced a new course for special nuclear emergency preparedness in response to the legal amendment after the criticality accident. The sum total number of participants was 1,310. The International Technology Transfer Division has not only planned and organized the international training courses, but also taken charge of the 3nd workshop on Human Resource Development in Nuclear Field in Asian and Pasific Region. Various researches have been made to improve the educational program.

The Human Resources Development (HRD) Project in the framework of the Forum of Nuclear Cooperation in Asia (FNCA) is a very effective mechanism under which the representatives from neighboring 8 countries gather in one place to discuss and exchange information on HRD in nuclear field. Following major tasks are being carried out, (1)Investigate the needs on human resources development in each country and the mutual support activities such as information exchange utilizing internet homepages and exchange of textbooks have been started. More efficient utilization of the existing personnel exchange programs is also being planned. (2)Assistance in the formulation of HRD strategy in each country. (3)Cooperative actions such as exchange of information on the recruitment of young generation to nuclear field, which is an issue common to all member countries.None of these tasks can yield visible results easily. HRD takes much time and effort to build mutual understanding, cooperative relationship and obtain the results together. There is no quick medicine for HRD.
