A Belarusian delegation consisting of representatives of the Energy Ministry and the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant visited Rosatom’s Technical Academy, where they discussed approaches to training specialists for the nuclear industry. The event was held with the support of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Belarusian specialists were presented with Russia’s experience in developing nuclear infrastructure and strengthening human resources capacity. With the academy’s assistance, about 800 operational staff specialists have been trained for the Belarusian NPP. The sides also discussed the development of nuclear knowledge management systems and cooperation with the IAEA on personnel training.
“The missions demonstrated that the Belarusian NPP construction project complies with international safety requirements and that the personnel are ready for its operation. Today, the Belarusian nuclear power plant is a good example for newcomer countries in nuclear energy,” said Viktor Mazepov, director for international cooperation at Rosatom’s Technical Academy.
As part of the visit, the Belarusian delegation will also visit the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant.
