Conference Day Two: Tuesday, 6 September 2016
08:30 - 09:00 Registration, refreshments and networking
09:00 - 09:30 Overcoming the challenges in nuclear power development in emerging countries and ensuring an effective supply chain
This presentation will discuss how operators can overcome critical challenges such as financial requirements, building competent man power and ensuring safety. Attend this session to hear how S.N. Nuclear Electrica effectively managed their supply chain to ensure they had all the right resources in place before starting construction
09:30 - 10:00 Addressing the benefits and risks of SMRs vs. large reactor introduction in embarking countries with small grids
Dr. Kamal J. Araj
Vice Chairman & Commissioner for Nuclear Power ReactorsJordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC), Jordan
10:00 - 10:30 Implementation of a nuclear power program in the Republic of Belarus
10:30 - 11:00 Improving Knowledge Transfer and Retention for Nuclear Newcomers
From fundamentals to operations training, there is a lot of material that must be absorbed by new nuclear candidates to prepare them to become industry professionals. The training materials in the nuclear power generation industry originate largely from when most the nuclear power plants were constructed in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s. In the meantime, today’s students—“digital natives”—are no longer “designed” for the educational system that is in place. L-3 MAPPS will discuss how today’s students are at odds with the industry’s teaching materials and what the company is doing about it.

Head of Simulators - Chief Nuclear OfficeEmirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC), UAE
12:00 - 12:30 Project update: Jordan Research and Training Reactor (JRTR) and its role in training, R&D and radio isotope development
This presentation will discuss the development of
JRTR, where the presenter will discuss the design and
characteristics of the reactors along with plans of research
reactor utilisation for various activities such as fuel testing,
radioisotope production and many more. Attend this session
to learn about the potential of research reactors and how
developing a nuclear research reactor can help in
enhancing the competency of potential employees
