KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
14
What is Knowledge
The Oxford English dictionary defines knowledge as
“Facts, information, and skills acquired through experience
or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of
a subject”
15
Types of Knowledge
1. Explicit
2. Tacit
3. Implicit
“We know more than we know that we know”

Explicit, Implicit & Tacit Knowledge
(2/2)
• Explicit knowledge –
– 20% (captured, recorded, codified)
• Implicit knowledge –
– 30% (not been captured yet)
• Tacit knowledge
– 50% (difficult to recall)

Knowledge Management
• KM is defined as “an integrated, systematic
approach to identifying, acquiring, transforming,
developing, disseminating, using, sharing, and
preserving knowledge”, relevant to achieving
specified objectives.

Knowledge Management
Components

Need for Managing Nuclear
Knowledge
• The Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) life cycle is considered
to be around 80 years.
• Advancement in NPP technology and other challenges
are forcing regulatory bodies to update their knowledge
on continuous basis and preserve previous knowledge
assets throughout the life time of the NPPs.
• This means that knowledge assets related to a specific
NPP must be managed (08 KM Steps) for around 100-
150 years.

• Knowledge management at the regulatory bodies is
essentially needed, as they regulate nuclear installations,
radiation facilities and associated activities for long
period of time.
• Nuclear science and technology is a specialized field,
therefore, it is essential that the manpower of regulatory
bodies should be competent, knowledgeable,
experienced and skilled to regulate these facilities
effectively and efficiently.

24
Need of KM System for PNRA
• It is essential for PNRA that its manpower be
knowledgeable, skilled and experienced to effectively
perform the challenging regulatory functions.
• There is a need for PNRA to identify, acquire, transform,
disseminate, share and preserve the existing regulatory
knowledge throughout the lifecycle of these installations.
• Therefore, PNRA realized the need for development and
implementation of comprehensive knowledge
management system.
25
• All data and knowledge is maintained as resources for
decision making and continual development of the
organization.
• The management identifies the required data and
knowledge; its access, security and confidentiality; and
ensures the preservation of organizational tacit
knowledge into explicit knowledge.
• Senior Management assesses Knowledge Management
(KM) practices and application of KM tools and also
identifies critical areas of knowledge loss and takes
preventive and corrective measures to minimize the risk
of knowledge loss.
KM Requirements in PNRA MSM
(1/3)
26
• Each department is responsible for development of
knowledge sharing culture and KM activities to ensure
availability of appropriate number of experts, so that risk
of knowledge loss is minimized.
• The assessment of KM is carried out as per defined
procedure and HRD is responsible to coordinate the
conduct of this assessment.
