  2. TRAINING AND TECHNOLOGY • BACKGROUND • SWOT ANALYSIS • NORM INDUSTRY • NUCLEAR INDUSTRY • MEDICAL • WAY FORWARD

  3. SARPA TRAINING AND TECHNOLOGY PLAN OF ACTION EX: GLENBURN LODGE, SARPA CONFERENCE 24-25 NOVEMBER 2005

  4. FIRST ALL AFRICAN REGIONAL IRPA CONGRESS (SOUTH AFRICA, 2003 ) New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) in Radiation Protection: • The exchange of technical knowledge on radiation protection and • The establishmentand strengthening ofradiation protection societies in Africa

  5. PROGRAM OF ACTION FOR AFRICA • To development of sustainable IRPA Associate Societies in all African countries and to define their role in national radiation protection programs. • To determine ways to exploit opportunities available through NEPAD and the identification of areas requiring solutions. • Education, training and capacity building- an important area in which Africa requires assistance to build a core group of radiation protection professionals. • Program of Action - the structure, systems and mechanisms to drive the implementation of the program of action.

  6. Southern African Radiation Protection Coordinating Body All African IRPA Regional Congress 2003 Program of Action for Africa RP Societies in Africa African Radiation Protection Coordinating Body (ARPOC) ARPOC Bid Committee IRPA South Africa Objectives of Program of Action for Africa BID TO HOST IRPA INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS (SOUTH AFRICA)

  7. “TRAINING AND TECHNOLOGY” POSSIBLE THEME FOR THE IRPA CONGRESS (SOUTH AFRICA) • Technology applicable to radiation protection in our continent. • Establishment and expansion of a network of radiation protection training facilities throughout Africa.

  8. TRAINING AND TECHNOLOGY • BACKGROUND • SWOT ANALYSIS • NORM INDUSTRY • NUCLEAR INDUSTRY • MEDICAL • WAY FORWARD

  9. INDUSTRIAL AND MEDICAL APPLICATIONS

  10. NUCLEAR POWER AND RESEARCH FACILITIES

  12. TRAINING AND TECHNOLOGY SWOT ANALYSIS GLENBURN LODGE SARPA CONFERENCE 24-25 NOVEMBER 2005

  13. TRAINING AND TECHNOLOGY • BACKGROUND • SWOT ANALYSIS • NORM INDUSTRY • NUCLEAR INDUSTRY • MEDICAL • WAY FORWARD

  14. NORM - TRAINING STRENGTHS • Expertise – existing RPS, RPO’s • International representation • Accreditation Board • SARPA and other

  15. NORM - TRAINING WEAKNESSES • International credibility of Accreditation Board • RPO and Appointed Medical Practitioner Training outdated • Barriers between disciplines e.g. environmental sciences, etc. • Lack of clear career paths for youngsters • Lack of practical application – education vs training / competency

  16. NORM - TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES • ARPOC, IRPA 2012 momentum being created • SGB Unit standards finalised • SARPA Guidance • Legislation, standards, guidance • Best Practice • Access to IRPA / IAEA • Access to Training • Needs Analysis • Opportunities for students e.g. research projects and mentorship

  17. NORM - TRAINING THREATS • Natural attrition of current RP resources and specialists • Fragmented training

  18. NORM - TECHNOLOGY STRENGTHS • Leaders in industries e.g. deep mining, vastness / scope of RP related applications, the whole Nuclear Cycle in SA • Research facilities

  19. NORM - TECHNOLOGY WEAKNESSES • Lack of calibration facilities • Applied Instrumentation • Access, awareness of applicable technologies • Measurement and assessment methodologies • Specialized skills e.g. modelling, groundwater, etc.

  20. NORM - TECHNOLOGY OPPORTUNITIES • Service to Africa • Needs analysis per industry • Research and Development vehicle / forum

  21. NORM - TECHNOLOGY THREATS • Continuation of services e.g. only 1 provider for radon monitoring • Ability to Comply with Technology • Lack of understanding of issues to be considered for RP across all disciplines and levels in organisations

  22. TRAINING AND TECHNOLOGY • BACKGROUND • SWOT ANALYSIS • NORM INDUSTRY • NUCLEAR INDUSTRY • MEDICAL • WAY FORWARD

  23. NUCLEAR - TRAINING STRENGTHS • Well developed higher education programmes (eg universities) • National initiatives in training & collaboration with industry • International credibility of training courses • Diverse knowledge/skills • Formation of SAQA

  24. NUCLEAR - TRAINING WEAKNESSES • Lack of resources (human & Financial) • Current duplication of training initiatives • Availability of RP induction courses • Lack of entry level courses • Lack of nuclear engineering graduate & post-graduate courses • Lack of needs analysis • Some current programmes not pro-active

  25. NUCLEAR - TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES • Opportunities for well-qualified & experienced persons (skills transfer/mentoring/coaching) • International forums • National coordination of education initiative

  26. NUCLEAR - TRAINING THREATS • Lack of finances • Qualified people leaving country • Evaluation of fitness for purpose of training courses • Aging work force • Lack of succession planning

  27. NUCLEAR - TECHNOLOGY STRENGTHS • Current national profile/support for the PBMR (Reactor +Fuel plant) • National Infrastructure well established • Safety record of nuclear installation • Well defined and inhibiting legal & regulatory framework • Highly qualified staff • International credibility (regulator & Industry) • Good (existing) site for disposal of rad waste • Well Defined (understood) technologies (eg Necsa Koeberg) • Public acceptance

  28. NUCLEAR - TECHNOLOGY WEAKNESSES • Practical training on- and availability of instrumentation • Lack of waste processing/disposal facilities • Aging work-force • Fragmentation of legislation • Ability to deal with introduction of new technologies (safety)

  29. NUCLEAR - TECHNOLOGY OPPORTUNITIES • New technologies (PBMR) • Transfer of new technologies to other countries (Borehole/SHARS) • Resurgence of nuclear internationally • SA Profile within African region • Spent fuel disposal options

  30. NUCLEAR - TECHNOLOGY THREATS • Obsolescence of technology currently installed • Public acceptance/resistance/lack of understanding • Lack of well defined waste policy • Security arrangements • Authorisation process

  31. TRAINING AND TECHNOLOGY • BACKGROUND • SWOT ANALYSIS • NORM INDUSTRY • NUCLEAR INDUSTRY • MEDICAL • WAY FORWARD

  32. MEDICAL - TRAINING STRENGTHS • iTemba – workshops on RP • Larger companies have made provision for in-house training – linked to specific needs.

  33. MEDICAL - TRAINING WEAKNESSES • Lack of Training of Medical praticitioners re RP. • Practical skills need to be demonstrated – need specific – some courses do offer practical work. • Lack of similar standards used by all trainers. • Trainers not trained to offer training. • Differences in requirements for RPO’s in nuclear industry & DoH. • Lack of alternative to full time courses to provide for bridging gap between other qualifications and degrees. • Lack of awareness training for managers.

  34. MEDICAL - TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES • Set training standards to make all training standardised. • SGB standards will provide guidelines . • Use SGB standards to compile training courses. • Re-evaluate RPO levels – more specific to indicate industry/application.

  35. MEDICAL - TRAINING THREATS • Several service providers without accreditation by SAQA. • Trainers not always teachers.

  36. MEDICAL - TECHNOLOGY STRENGTHS • Some good equipment available in RSA

  37. MEDICAL - TECHNOLOGY WEAKNESSES • Old equipment vs new equipment using SI units. • Interpretation of scales and readings – analogue vs digital.

  38. MEDICAL - TECHNOLOGY OPPORTUNITIES • Standardisation of read-outs of equipment to avoid confusion. • Easy access to information on interpretation of readings.

  39. MEDICAL - TECHNOLOGY THREATS • A lot of old equipment still in use. • Equipment not matched to need – survey/contamination
