The Hanoitimes - Vietnam is prioritising nuclear energy infrastructure development and cultivating the human resources capable of meeting the industry’s demands.


Deputy Science and Technology Minister Le Dinh Tien revealed the plan at a nuclear energy seminar in Hanoi on August 27 jointly held by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).


He said the Prime Minister approved a human resource development project soon after the National Assembly passed its resolution on the construction of the Ninh Thuan 1 and 2 nuclear power plants. The project’s steering board is targeting completion by 2020.


Tien emphasised the importance of an overarching master plan for Vietnam’s nuclear power ambitions.


He expressed his hope that French, German, Czech Republic, and IAEA experts will share their experiences with Vietnam in the interests of fine-tuning this national strategy.


International and domestic experts attending the three-day seminar will also discuss nuclear power plant staffing requirements, training management officials, and nuclear power safety policies.
