People who are studying and researching atomic energy will receive full
support and incentives from the Government following the Prime
Minister’s Decree 124/2013 dated October 14.
Accordingly, Vietnamese nationals who are studying, researching and
working in atomic energy will be offered free tuition, accommodation,
and cost of living support. They will also receive support for overseas
study and research.
Currently, there are six
educational institutions training human resources specialising in atomic
energy in Vietnam together with about 800 officers working in the
atomic energy field.
Director of Investment
Programs at the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation (Rosatom) S. A.
Boyarkin has said that to construct and operate Ninh Thuan 1 Nuclear
Power Plant, the first of its kind in Vietnam, it is necessary to have
about 1,500 people, including 300 workers, 700 engineers, 300 employees
in the monitoring units, experts from the Electricity of Vietnam, and
staff from relevant ministries and departments.
To support
Vietnam in the preparation of human resources, the Russian government
will train about 100 Vietnamese students every year at universities
specialising in nuclear power in the fields of operation, construction
and supervision.
In addition, Vietnamese experts
from ministries, departments, research institutes and universities will
be supported to participate in training courses at experimental centres
in Russia. In the next 10 years, Vietnam will surely have enough human
resources to operate the plant.-VNA
