ETRES MISSION TO MALAYSIA

15-19 DECEMBER 2014, MALAYSIA

BACKGROUND ON ETRES
The main objective of ETReS is to assist Member
States to develop and maintain a sustainable
and adequate Education and Training
programme in nuclear safety consistent with
IAEA safety standards and international good
practices, with due recognition to national
conditions.
2 Previous missions:

Preparatory mission in Indonesia in 2012

Mission to Pakistan in 2013 as an experienced state.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE MISSION I

Ms. Kostor from Atomic Energy Licensing Board
(AELB) was designated as national coordinator.
Preparatory mission sent by the IAEA on 17-19
September 2014. Mr. Haditjahyono from the
Canter for Education and Training National
Nuclear Energy Agency (Indonesia) met with
Malaysian counterparts to brief Malaysian
stakeholders how to conduct the national ETReS
self-assessment and share his experience in the
preparation and hosting of an ETReS Mission.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE MISSION II

The institutions involved filled in the Advance
Reference Material (ARM) provided by the IAEA
and sent it in advance
The ARM was analysed by the Review Team and
served as the basis for the Mission and the final
report.
The mission itself took place 15 to 20 December
2014with meetings at the facilities of the ALEB,
the Malaysia Nuclear Agency and the Malaysia
Nuclear Power Corporation, as well as a visit to
the TRIGA research reactor.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE MISSION I

The objectives of the ETReS mission to Malaysia

were met and it can be considered a successful
mission.
The mission allowed the IAEA to and the peers to
assess the current situation in the country.
It also helped the Malaysian institutions to analyse
their own capabilities and gaps in education and
training they need to address.
The Malaysian institutions reviewed demonstrated
that they are well prepared and have good education
and training capabilities, existing or in development.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE MISSION II

The mission report is being finalised at the

moment. It identified a total of 15 good practices
and 19 recommendations, agreed among the
experts of the Review Team and with the
Malaysian counterparts during the exit meeting

3/19 OF RECOMMENDATIONS ARE:

B.R1: The Review Team recommends the establishment of

a focus group on Knowledge Management among the
stakeholders.
C.R1: The training institutions should determine the exact
needs in HR, equipment and funds to accommodate the
increase in training needs, should the decision to embark
be made in 2015. D.R1: A policy on E&T for regulatory
body from which the E&T policies will be derived should be
in place
E.R1: The regulator should revise the current standard
(Standard for Certification and Recertification of research
Reactor Operator LEM/TEK/54) to include all three
categories of operating personnel, that is also Senior
Reactor Operators and Supervisors. The revised Standard
should include also the criteria for recognizing instructors
and trainers for the certification of the reactor operators.

SUMMARY

Important factors in establishing the Capacity

Building for development and deployment of
sustainable Nuclear Energy System in Malaysia:

Government Policy and Decision on NPP

National Stakeholder co-operations and commitment
Technical and regulatory infrastructure
Technical Competence Staff and workers
International collaboration
Continues Supports from IAEA

The ETReS mission to Malaysia met its objectives

and can be considered a successful mission.
