Developing Vietnam’s human
resources for its nuclear power sector dominated a seminar jointly held
by the Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) and the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Hanoi on August 27.
Speaking at the event, MoST Deputy Minister Le Dinh Tien said
Vietnam attaches importance to building nuclear power infrastructure,
especially human resources.
Following the National
Assembly’s approval of the resolution on the investment of two nuclear
power plants in the central province of Ninh Thuan, the Prime
Minister ratified a project on nuclear power personnel training by 2020,
he said.
According to the official, a steering committee on
training and developing nuclear power human resources has been
established to serve the project.
The committee has assigned
the Ministry of Education and Training to roll out a master plan.
Electricity of Vietnam and the MoST are also required to get
involved in the project, Tien added.
He expressed his hope
that IAEA experts and those from France and Germany will share
their experience in this field to help Vietnam draw up the best
human resources plan for the country’s first nuclear power project.
The seminar will last until August 29.-VNA
