Date: Monday, March 18, 2013
- Friday, April 05, 2013
The Nuclear Power Institute (NPI) at Texas A&M University
(TAMU) jointly with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
is offering a three-week Nuclear Energy Management School (NEMS)
for young professionals working in nuclear energy and related
fields.
The purpose of this School is to provide a unique international
educational experience aimed at building future leadership to
manage and support nuclear energy programs and projects in nuclear
energy field. It targets professionals with managerial potential
who show promise as future leaders in the nuclear industry,
academia, government agencies and public sector entities in their
country. The School allows sharing and transfer of knowledge from
internationally recognized experts in a wide range of activities
critical to a sustainable nuclear energy program.
A special feature of NEMS is a trip to Atlanta, Georgia to meet
with representatives of the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations
(INPO) and the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) and
visit the nuclear power plant construction site of Plant Vogtle
Units 3 and 4 in Waynesboro, Georgia. The trip is optional -
subject of availability of resources and can be covered by
participants on individual basis.
Guest lecturers will be representatives from the international
nuclear community including experts from North American nuclear
industry, the regulatory community, IAEA and Texas A&M
University who will share their experiences in the management and
operation of nuclear power plants in a post Fukushima era.
This is an opportunity for future nuclear leaders to build
networks with nuclear established communities and with peers from
other countries.
The School will consist of a series of keynote presentations and
discussions on topics relevant to managing nuclear energy programs,
case studies, practical sessions, group projects and visits to
nuclear facilities. At the end of the school, all participants are
expected to pass a final exam to receive a School certificate. The
School will be conducted in English.
