NUSHARE Project

PROJECT FOR SHARING & GROWING NUCLEAR SAFETY CULTURE COMPETENCE

The NUSHARE Project

This project receives funding from the EURATOM Research and Training programme, 4 years under grant agreement N° 335530.

NUSHARE is a FP7 project implementing a European Education, Training and Information initiative proposed by the Commissioner for Research and Innovation and the Commissioner for Energy after the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami on 11 March 2011 (Fukushima).

Its main objective is to develop and implement education, training and information programmes strengthening competences required for achieving excellence in nuclear safety culture. Particular attention is being paid to lessons learned from stress tests conducted on all EU nuclear Power Plants in response to the the Fukushima accident and to sharing best practices at the European level.

NUSHARE addresses the specific needs of different stakeholders in nuclear safety by the development and EU-wide dissemination of programmes for 3 target groups:

TG1: Policy decision makers and opinion leaders at the level of governments, parliaments, international organisations, scientific communities, journalists;
TG2 : Staff members of Nuclear Regulatory Authorities and Technical Safety Organisations (TSOs);
TG3 : Electric utilities, systems suppliers, and providers of nuclear services at the level of responsible personnel, in particular managers.

Project implemented from 1 January 2013 to 30 June 2017

Project implemented from 1 January 2013 to 30 June 2017

The NUSHARE project partners strive for the systematic consideration of the needs of end users of NUSHARE programmes and for involving further organisations in their implementation. Exchanges with stakeholders, i.e. individuals and organisations sharing interest in the NUSHARE objectives and ready to contribute with their own resources, are fostered:

to present and disseminate experience on embedding saety culture
to identify the stakeholder’s needs and suitable ways to address them within the NUSHARE programmes,
to increase the participation of stakeholders in pilot actions, in the implementation, and in the EU-wide dissemination of NUSHARE programmes
