Objectives of the Project TRASNUSAFE aims at
designing, developing and validating two training schemes on nuclear safety culture with a common basis for professionals operating at a high level of
managerial responsibilities in nuclear installations.
One training scheme: related to the nuclear industry,
The other: related to the installations making use of ionising radiation based technology (mainly in short: the medical sector)

Three Participants from Romania
CNCAN: Comisia Nationala pentru Controlul Activitatilor Nucleare (head of User Group 2)
UPB Universitatea Politehnica din Bucuresti
Societatea Nationala Nuclearelectrica S.A. (Member User Group 1)
ECVET seminar 2, 11-01-219
Role of the two User Groups The members of the two User Groups come from
Regulators, Industry, International Professional Associations
The leader of each User Group is member of the Project Coordination Committee
The Members of the User Groups give advise throughout the project, in particular on the relevance of the contents of the modules
They review the deliverables They send (free of charge) a limited number of
participants to the pilot sessions They participate de facto in the international
validation and recognition of the final product
ECVET seminar 2, 11-01-2110
Five modules leading to five EUROCOURSES One generic module + four specialised
modules The choice of topics of the specialised
modules will be made based on the analysis of the needs
Constraint of time for each course Need to train the trainers (coaches)

Managerial competences needed Leading a continuous collective effort to keep high
level safety standards and to match the ALARA goals: at all steps of design, construction, operation and
dismantling of nuclear installations, including transport of fuel, waste, and other radioactive
materials like medical radio-isotopes
Such leadership is based on Knowledge and understanding of safety issues and
solutions Expertise in radiation protection Knowledge and understanding of regulation Managerial skills Spirit of questioning, investigating, searching, assessing

Response of TRASNUSAFE It is not the aim of TRASNUSAFE to offer in
depth training on scientific / technical subjects, nor on regulations.
Scientific /technical subjects and regulations will be rather considered as a prerequisite necessary for studying the implementation of a nuclear safety culture in a given professional environment.
The schemes will focus on the managerial skills through case studies, experience feedback, analysis of the communication between the internal actors, practical work in team, etc.

Systematic analysis of the needs in the EUOBJECTIVES To obtain quantitative information of the
provisional fluxes of managers in charge of safety that can be expected for general or specific trainings on nuclear safety culture
To obtain qualitative information on the characteristics of the potential trainees, their scientific background, their professional environment, their responsibilities, and their expectations

Methodology of the analysis of the needs Questionnaire (120 replies over 450 persons
invited to fill in the on-line questionnaire; 15 replies from Romania)
Contacts with national and international agencies including IAEA
Seminars with invited experts at five locations in Europe: Brussels, Bucharest, Madrid, London (?), Ljubljana

Conclusions of the Brussels Workshop (1/3)
The need to develop the safety culture training specifically for (high) managerial level was recognized by all participants This training is supplementary to the safety
training given to the workforce in nuclear industry or in other sectors working with radioactive sources
While the latter safety training is work related, tuned to concrete working conditions and often organized by (and in) the companies, the safety culture training for managers approaches safety as a risk management issue
As such this safety culture training for managers is largely sector independent
SIEN 2011 W6 Bucharest 19 Oct. 2011
21
Conclusions of the Brussels Workshop (2/3)
Content of the training The training needs to address the ‘management
perspective’ of safety culture, it will approach safety culture as a risk management challenge
The training will focus on the importance of a safety policy, ways to foster a good safety culture, management systems to manage the safety, tools to measure safety culture, consequences of inappropriate safety culture, …
To be successful, the training should use concepts from management sciences and adopt the ‘language’ of senior managers
SIEN 2011 W6 Bucharest 19 Oct. 2011

Conclusions of the Brussels Workshop (3/3)
Content of the training The general module of the TRASNUSAFE safety culture
training starts from a universal approach to risk management: safety culture is a general challenge for organizations
But for organizations dealing with nuclear material and radioactive sources, the safety culture training also needs to include sector specific elements, such as an overview of the safety systems generally implemented in the
sector, and an overview of the system of radiation protection, including
attention for protection principles as optimization and justification, and techniques such as ALARA processes
More on the importance of these concepts in WP2 conclusions
SIEN 2011 W6 Bucharest 19 Oct. 2011

Possible topics for specialised modules 1) Human error reduction tool and organisation failures 2) “Ethical” aspects of the radiological risk: Justification /
optimisation of radiotherapy and doses to the patients, and the ways to implement the best practices in the hospitals
3) Crisis management and nuclear safety culture: This includes the communication process and contents. It can be designed for the medical sector and/or for the industrial sector, and involves all providers of information, thus including the regulators.
4) Setting up a management system 5) Nuclear safety culture in research facilities. This module
would be designed for safety managers of research institutions housing an accelerator, a research reactor or a radiochemistry / radiobiology department.
6) Economics of safety culture 7) Nuclear safety in transport of radioactive materials 8) Compliance of contractors with safety systems 9) Others: specify.

Contribution to harmonisation of safetyTRASNUSAFE will contribute to harmonisation of safety
if the result of the project is a set of training courses of
high quality clear learning outcomes relevant contents, adequate pedagogical supports, trans-cultural, proved efficient on a significant set of individuals, include a control of acquired competences (ECVET)
and if there is a form of recognition by the regulators (at
least several regulators).
