Modern Energy in the 20th
centuryThe secret to success:
Every significant advance in the 20th century has been created by “modern energy”:Great energy milestones:
Big oil era began in 1901Electricity replaced coal, gas and kerosene generated lightInternal combustion engine created carsMiddle East oil created “cheap oil forever”Atomic energy created electricity ”too cheap to meter”Piping natural gas created miracle of energy heat
Wind and Solar are promising an “energy paradise” for allThroughout 90% of 20th Century, modern energy was virtually “free.”

The Demand for Knowledge
With a forthcoming high growth in nuclear industry worldwide, maintaining nuclear competencies both in industry and nuclear regulatory authorities will be the most critical challenge in the near future. Governments and the nuclear industry have already recognized the need to secure qualified human resources in the nuclear energy field.

The Knowledge Load for Nuclear Power
20
The “Knowledge challenges”Aging of nuclear personnel, retirement,Loss of valuable nuclear knowledge, Degradation in technology skills and know‐how,Possible degradation in safety of current installations?Dilution or loss of innovation potential?Status of Nuclear R&D? ‐ Gen4Education & Training, where are we heading?
Developed countries are the custodians of nuclear knowledge accumulated over decades. There is consensus that actions need to be taken to preserve its key parts.Problem: effective knowledge transfer between generations of workers, the need to sustain and develop sufficient human resources to sustain the operation of existing facilities and to prepare for a possible expansion in the future.
21
Developing countries face different knowledge problems: capacity building, access to and transfer of knowledge to the “country of growth”. Knowledge and human resources need to be build up for new nuclear power programmes, and knowledge needs to be sustained (and not be brain‐drained).

Critical Knowledge IssuesHow to retain existing skills and competences for the long period during which a plant is operating, especially when facilities in that country may be at the end of the life cycle and no additional facilities are foreseen in the near future.
How to develop new skills and competences in areas such as decommissioning and radioactive waste management, which may be viewed as "sunset" activities and therefore unattractive to young people.
How to support a revival of nuclear power in countries wishing to do so, with an ageing workforce and declining programs.
Markets can create and preserve knowledge only in areas of commercial interest and during the time this interest lasts.
Managing nuclear knowledge requires long‐term planning and remains in the responsibility of governments as a part of national development plans and international obligations both for developed and developing countries.
37
Are we not duplicating industry?
Can the “market” protect knowledge alone?
Industry must address immediate requirements◦ Design, delivery, and
operations need constant focus

The role for the Agency is to assist in the transfer of knowledge from “centres of competence” to the “centres of growth”.
Potentially high risk of knowledge loss and additional cost for future generationsmust be avoided, and the Agency can help to integrate this long‐term aspect into today's strategic decisions.

“NuArch” ‐ Archiving the “Nuclear Internet”
1. A web crawler identifies and downloads (harvests) nuclear information resources from the Internet.
2. The harvested materials is automatically indexed and stored in a high-volume archive with version control.
3. A customised version of an advanced search engine indexes all contents.
4. Specialised analysis tools are developed.

Managing Nuclear Knowledge
Nuclear knowledge is critical to the development of human civilization.
Nothing ever works on its own. It always has to be managed.’
New talent is badly needed if Nuclear power will play its role in the energy future.
Number one priority!
Three reasons to consider when talking about Renaissance…
The world is in desperate need of energy.
By releasing waste from fossil energy production into the atmosphere, we pollute the environment and we pass on to our children a little more each day. Is that acceptable? Is it sustainable?
Mankind has ‐ since its beginnings ‐ proved itself capable, apart from a few setbacks in the history of some civilizations, of controlling technical progress to ensure its own well being and the smooth development of the planet.
And the two High‐Tech laws that apply also to nuclear…
"The beginnings of any technology‐rich business are all characterized by a shortage of large numbers of technically trained people needed to support ultimate growth" "The resources will come when the business becomes attractive to the best‐and brightest who adapt skills to become part of an exciting opportunity"
QUO VADIS ‐ Where are we going?
When Saint Peter met Jesusas he was running from being crucified in Rome, Peter asked Jesus the question –Quo vadis?
Jesus answered, "I am going to Rome to be crucified again“.
This prompted Peter to gain the courage to continue his ministry and eventually become a martyr.
