1 Assuring Future NUCLEARSAFETY COMPETENCIESS pecific ActionsNUCLEAR ENERGY AGENCYORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATIONAND DEVELOPMENTORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENTP ursuant to Article 1 of the Convention signed in Paris on 14th December 1960, and which cameinto force on 30th September 1961, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)shall promote policies designed: to achieve the highest sustainable economic growth and employment and a rising standard ofliving in Member countries, while maintaining financial stability, and thus to contribute tothe development of the world economy; to contribute to sound economic expansion in Member as well as non-member countries inthe process of economic development.

2 And to contribute to the expansion of world trade on a multilateral, non-discriminatory basis inaccordance with international original Member countries of the OECD are Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France,Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. The following countries became Memberssubsequently through accession at the dates indicated hereafter: Japan (28th April 1964), Finland (28thJanuary 1969), Australia (7th June 1971), New Zealand (29th May 1973), Mexico (18th May 1994), theCzech Republic (21st December 1995), Hungary (7th May 1996), Poland (22nd November 1996); Korea(12th December 1996) and the Slovak Republic (14th December 2000).

3 The Commission of the EuropeanCommunities takes part in the work of the OECD (Article 13 of the OECD Convention). Nuclear ENERGY AGENCYThe OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) was established on 1st February 1958 under thename of the OEEC European Nuclear Energy Agency. It received its present designation on 20th April 1972,when Japan became its first non-European full Member. NEA membership today consists of 27 OECDM ember countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France,Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway,Portugal, Republic of Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United Commission of the European Communities also takes part in the work of the mission of the NEA is.

4 To assist its Member countries in maintaining and further developing, through internationalco-operation, the scientific, technological and legal bases required for a safe,environmentally friendly and economical use of Nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, aswell as to provide authoritative assessments and to forge common understandings on key issues, asinput to government decisions on Nuclear energy policy and to broader OECD policyanalyses in areas such as energy and sustainable areas of competence of the NEA include Safety and regulation of Nuclear activities,radioactive waste management, radiological protection, Nuclear science, economic and technical analyses ofthe Nuclear fuel cycle, Nuclear law and liability, and public information.

5 The NEA Data Bank provides nucleardata and computer program services for participating these and related tasks, the NEA works in close collaboration with the International AtomicEnergy Agency in Vienna, with which it has a Co-operation Agreement, as well as with other internationalorganisations in the Nuclear field.

7 The challengearises partly from the age profile of staff in the regulatory bodies, which couldresult in the loss of much of the present Nuclear Safety knowledge base due toretirements over the next decade or so, and partly from a decline in the numbersof students graduating from courses in Nuclear science and engineering andbecoming available for recruitment to fill the vacancies left by the Future of Nuclear generation programmes, regardlessof whether new Nuclear power plants are built in Member countries, there willbe an ongoing requirement for several decades in the regulatory bodies and theindustry to recruit qualified staff to fill the vacancies left by retirements and topreserve the present knowledge 1999 the NEA Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities(CNRA) organised a workshop on Assuring Nuclear Safety Competence intothe 21st Century.

8 The purpose of the workshop was to consider the mostefficient approach to recruiting, training and retaining Safety staff, andpreserving a critical mass of knowledge, both within industry and the regulatorybodies. As a result of the workshop, at the end of 1999 the Committee set up atask group to identify specific actions for Assuring Future Nuclear task group, chaired by Dr. G. L wenhielm (SKI, Sweden), mettwice in 2000 and once at the beginning of 2001. Prof.
