The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) first published in 2000 Nuclear Education and Training: Cause for Concern?, which highlighted significant issues in the availability of human resources for the nuclear industry. Ten years on, Nuclear Education and Training: From Concern to Capability considers what has changed in that time and finds that, while some countries have taken positive actions, in a number of others human resources could soon be facing serious challenges in coping with existing and potential new nuclear facilities. This is exacerbated by the increasing rate of retirement as the workforce ages. This report provides a qualitative characterisation of human resource needs and appraises instruments and programmes in nuclear education and training initiated by various stakeholders in different countries. In this context, it also examines the current and future uses of nuclear research facilities for education and training purposes. Regarding the nuclear training component of workforce competence, it outlines a job taxonomy which could be a basis for addressing the needs of workers across this sector. It presents the taxonomy as a way of enhancing mutual recognition and increasing consistency of education and training for both developed and developing countries.

L'ambition de ce livre est de donner à un large public les clés pour comprendre les données et les enjeux de l'énergie nucléaire, à un moment où l'avenir de cette énergie fait l'objet d'un débat de société majeur. Ce livre est écrit avec un souci d’objectivité scientifique, avec pour but d’informer sur les enjeux technologiques et économiques du domaine. Il décrit les effets des radiations sur l'Homme et sur l’environnement, le fonctionnement des réacteurs d’aujourd’hui et des générations futures, le cycle du combustible de l’amont à l’aval, la gestion des déchets sans en dissimuler les difficultés. Il fournit les données nécessaires pour comprendre les bases économiques du coût de l'électricité nucléaire. Il analyse enfin les accidents nucléaires majeurs, en particulier celui de Fukushima, et s’interroge : peut-on concevoir un nucléaire plus sûr ? Cet ouvrage s’adresse à tout citoyen concerné par les choix en matière d’énergie et d’environnement : quelle peut être la place du nucléaire à côté des autres sources d’énergie ?

The reliable supply of molybdenum-99 (99Mo) and its decay product, technetium-99m (99mTc), is a vital component of modern medical diagnostic practices. At present, most of the global production of 99Mo is from highly enriched uranium (HEU) targets. However, all major 99Mo-producing countries have recently agreed to convernt to using low-enriched uranium targetts for the production of 99Mo. This report describes the market impact of this conversion both in terms of costs, available capacity as well as the policy actions that are needed.

Materials research is a field of growing relevance for innovative nuclear systems, such as Generation IV reactors, critical and sub-critical transmutation systems and fusion devices. For these different systems, structural materials are selected or developed taking into account the pecificities of their foreseen operational environment. Since 2007, the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) has begun organising a series of workshops on Structural Materials for Innovative Nuclear Systems (SMINS) in order to provide a forum to exchange information on current materials research programmes for different innovative nuclear systems. These proceedings include the papers of the second workshop (SMINS-2) which was held in Daejon, Republic of Korea on 31 August-3 September 2010, and hosted by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI).
