• GNEII is designed to be:
– A regionally based institute for development of human
resource capability
– A part of nuclear energy 3S (safety, safeguards &
security) infrastructure for development & education in
a regional context
– A strategic effort to develop a responsible nuclear
energy culture in future program decision-makers
***Not intended to train nuclear engineers or operators, intended instead to educate
and prepare future leaders of region’s nuclear energy programs
