The IAEA INPRO School on Strategic Planning for Sustainable Nuclear Energy

The IAEA’s INPRO has developed a set of decision support tools for developing nuclear energy scenarios and conducting studies for formulating national strategies for sustainable nuclear energy systems. INPRO disseminates these tools and conducts specialized training in the IAEA INPRO School on Strategic Planning for Sustainable Nuclear Energy (the INPRO School), to help Member States build local expertise for strategic planning for sustainable nuclear energy development.

The INPRO School

The IAEA assists Member States in capacity building through various educational and training programmes, including long-term and strategic planning for sustainable nuclear energy. The INPRO School introduces the INPRO concept of nuclear energy sustainability and develop competencies for assessment and analysis of nuclear energy systems to support national decisions on the future use of nuclear energy.

Objective

The INPRO School aims to develop and strengthen the competencies needed for longterm strategic planning of sustainable nuclear energy systems at the national, regional, and global levels. This objective is accomplished by providing knowledge and basic practical experience on the INPRO analytical approaches, methods and tools for assessment and analysis of nuclear energy systems.

Scope

The INPRO School covers all areas of INPRO’s concept of nuclear energy sustainability – economics, infrastructure, waste management, environment, proliferation resistance, reactor and fuel cycle safety. The table below highlights the main elements of the course. The School also provides training on the INPRO tools and methods for assessment and analysis of nuclear energy systems.

Main Elements

  • Energy planning and strategies for sustainable development
  • Planning for nuclear energy sustainability
  • INPRO methodology for assessing sustainability of nuclear energy systems
  • The role of innovations for sustainability of nuclear energy systems
  • INPRO methods and tools for modelling and analysis of nuclear energy systems
  • Application of INPRO tools for strategic planning of nuclear energy systems
  • Projects and exercises

Target Audience

The INPRO School is primarily intended for persons pursuing a professional career in strategic planning of nuclear energy systems. The INPRO School is also beneficial for:

  • present and future managers of nuclear energy organizations
  • energy planning professionals
  • university faculty and instructors of centres of excellence
  • nuclear engineers, researchers and analysts
  • experts in international relations involved in energy planning
