The Mountain of RP System

Younger engineers/researchers

DifferentStarting point



To make a sense of discussion at International-level.

Introduction

If younger generation can join international-level conferencefrom the early stage of engineer/researcher,

A wide range of the system of RP, which isincluding political, social and economic factor.The importance of alliance among countries, organizations

Acquiring relevant knowledge through EXPERIENCE

-POINT OF ISSUEFIRST EXPERIENCE

-Why do we need securing and fostering the younger expertsresponsible for RP?



To propose practical solutions commensurate with its problems.

-Why do we need securing and fostering the younger radiation protection engineers?

Introduction

Younger engineers

- International-level

- National-level

-POINT OF ISSUE HIGH DEGREE of OWN SPECIALISM at OPERATIONAL-LEVEL

•Development of own specialty,•Finding operational problems, solutionsat operational-level

•Finding problem, practical solutionsat national/ international-level.

Basement knowledge- Organization-level

The Mountain of Specialty

way of own specialty



Attending a education and training course

Active participating RP Engineers in RP-related meetings,committee, conference

Developing own specialty

Fund Injection by own country into R&D

Research Institute responsible for RP

University which is lunching technical course

Nuclear / Radiation-related industry

Parties involving to government & regulatory authority

Q. Do you think which organization have a responsibility for securing and fostering for national / international RP engineers?

Q. How activities do we need as a more important measure?

We have already been aware of how we should do for effective measure to develop RP Engineers EXPERIENCE, SPECIALTY

2. Current status surveyto Radiation Protection Organization

- Matter concerns of a proactive efforts to secure and foster younger RP engineers in each organizations.

- About development of RP engineersas internationally regarded person.

-Main activities of organizationa) Facility radiation control (radiation control in controlled area, radioactive

effluents from the facility, access control, etc.)

b) Environmental monitoring (radiation / radioactive concentration, dose assessment for the member of public)

c) External and internal dose assessment for radiation workers

d) Managements of radioactive wastes

e) Planning / manufacturing / maintaining of radiation measuring system (personal dosimeter, various radiation monitoring system, etc.)

f) Maintenance of radiation standards field, calibration of radiation measuring instruments

g) Radiation / radioactivity monitoring in emergency situation

h) Implementation of accident prevention program for nuclear emergency(including education and training), etc.



Operational-Level

Active participating in a training course/ conference relating to own work

Activities to get RP-related qualification(e.g. Radiation safety officer)

Establishment of the system of education program for all workers

Strategic planning of a reporting to conference & scientific journal

Holding of colloquium, technical meetings and seminar

Organizing past technical documents, andmaking technical manuals

Promoting a collaborative research with RP-related University

Assigning mid-level officer as a technical assistance for young one

Uniquely introducing the recognition system of RP engineers(i.e. Classification based on RP engineers-level

by written & practical exam.)

- Matter concerns of a proactive efforts to secure and fosteryounger RP engineers in each organization.



a) Practical training / OJT ( How to ware a protective equipments, about decontamination, body surveying, and equipment operation, etc.).

b) Supporting a getting Doctor’s Degree.c) Implementation of individual education program utilizing own training center.d) Making a historical report of failure experiments after operating the facility.e) Installment of a corridor which is displaying failure experiments.f) Temporary transferring to other relating organization.g) Establishment of technical adviser system for qualification.h) Setting work objective and responsibility before they start work.i) Opening of their scientific / technical findings to the public.j) Increasing experiments by strategic change of their office.k) Active engaging in activities of special scientific committee in

RP-related society.

Building up of practical EXPERIENCES.Providing RESPONSIBILITY.

Nothing

Visitation to nuclear organizations outside of country

Trying to resolve tasks with younger RP engineers (The tasks is assigned from expert committee)

Temporary transferring to other organization

Active participating to domestic technical committeesas one of the committee member

Active participating to scientific conferenceby national / international society

Building up of EXPERIENCES foster RP engineersSmall size organization has a difficulty to foster RP engineers

due to lack of its resources.

- Ideas of Young RP Engineers for developments of RP engineer.(If we can establish the system of engineer developments, what should we do?)

- Proposal from Young RP Engineers



-SubjectsYoung Engineers who belongs to Young Researcher’s Association of JHPS

(n=18 effective answers; more than 80% of engineers of YRA)



- Ideas of Young RP engineers for development of RP engineers.(If we can establish the system of engineer developments, what should we do?)

-Stimulating INFORMATION EXCHANGE(8 items)

- Giving DISCRETION(3 items)

- Providing RESPONSIBILITY (4 items)

・Holding of a colloquium and a reporting (correct a direction of own R&D)

・Assigning mid-level officer as technicalassistance to young one.

・Having a opportunity of discussionbetween young and high-level officer

・Securing a time for technical meeting in every week as a purpose of transferring of technical matters.

, etc.

・Setting specific organization goal, releasing the goal and its results to others

・Strategic reporting own results at scientific conferences and scientific paper

・Putting a young RP engineers in worksite to be needed foreign language skill. (e.g. as a teacher in international training center)

, etc.

・Assigning important tasks to young RP engineers.・Providing a obligation to get RP-related qualification.・Establishment of a job achievement system by

young workers., etc.

・Setting own objectives over routine works

・Providing high degree of freedom to engineers who have ambitious spirits, and controlling engineers who do not have those.

, etc.



- Proposal from Young RP engineers to own RP organization.1. Younger generation can establish

RP Engineer Development System by us.

3. Organization shall show CLEAR ORGANIZATION GOAL.

2. Organization shall support Young RP Engineers activities .

- Proposal from Young RP engineers to Int. RP organization.1. Int. RP engineers should make OPPORTUNITY to consider of the system of radiation protection in futureby only young generation.

2. Young generation desire SYSTEM to promote information exchange among Asian region and/or world wide by Int. organization.

(Aspect of mind, finance, etc.)



RP engineers aspireto have RESPONSIBILITY, andto increase EXPERIENCE.

Showing CLEAR ORGANIZATION GOAL stimulate our motivation.

Mini-summary



4. Conclusion



The level of RP Engineers will be secured with

Important part of Optimization

Improvement of individual technical capabilities, anda sense of discussion.

Amplification of a knowledge on the system of radiation protection

・The system of radiation protection・Optimization of Protection and Safety

Fostering of RP engineer is



No Perfect system of Radiation ProtectionSince a recognition to radiation is changing with human activities,Establishment of the System of radiation protection is never-ending process

Evolution of the System of RP

Demand of securing RP experts is ever lasting.



Final question for RP Engineers of YRA.

Q. In the future, Do you want to become Expert of RP Engineer who can contribute to National/International-level Radiation Protection world?

Thank you for your attention.
