[en] The Canadian Nuclear Society and the Canadian Radiation Protection Association are working to develop an agreement between the organizations to facilitate working together on issues of common interest. This paper will present the objectives, the organizational structure and major areas of activity of the Canadian Radiation Protection Association. It is a reciprocal presentation of one given earlier this year by Mr. Fred Boyd of the CNS to the CRPA annual conference. The intent is to help the membership of each organization better understand the objectives and interests of the other. (author)

[en] Full text: The paper describes research done in the scope of doctoral project. The aim of the study is to discover how to improve the process of collaborative learning in the community of scientists by the development of a community of practice. A mixed methods approach was used combining data from content analysis, interviews and questionnaires. Results show that such community helps to build relationships and network with others, it motivates to share work-related knowledge, represents an area of common interest for organization, but also that it is mainly driven by the willingness of members and is lacking instruments to share ideas.

[en] Full text: The Nuclear Training and Education Center (NTC) at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has established a capacity-based education and training system for research and development (R&D) personnel and offers more than 40 training programmes a year. This paper introduces KAERI’s capacity-based education and training system, and shares experiences gained from the operating cycle. In addition, it describes the development of the professional capacity building program, which incorporates the institute’s key technological strengths. KAERI, which conducts comprehensive research in nuclear technology, consists of professionals in various fields, with R&D personnel accounting for 82% of its employees. In consideration of this unique feature, the institute has developed a capacity building programme for nuclear R&D personnel. To reflect the organizational diversity and interdisciplinary requirements of each division and department, the various fields of nuclear R&D were divided into 16 modules, each of which was developed into a training course. This module-based training programme can be integrated into domestic training programmes for industrial technology personnel and international training courses for nuclear-related professionals in developing countries.
