There are several reasons why [[Knowledge management|KM]] issues may become a priority in nuclear organizations. For example, in some Member States, the nuclear industry is a maturing industry and organizations are experiencing high attrition rates due to retirements. This has highlighted their vulnerability to the loss of experts and their highly specialized and (difficult to replace) knowledge. In other Member States, there are aggressive plans underway for new builds and critical skills shortages have become a problem. Some Member States are experiencing both problems simultaneously, and further, need to staff upcoming refurbishment or decommissioning projects. Finally, there is concern in the industry over the ‘pipeline’ of adequately skilled new graduates due to the lack of university level nuclear engineering and science programmes. It takes typically months of formal in-house training and many more years of on-the-job training to build up the competencies and experience needed for many specialized NPP staff roles. Any of these factors may contribute to a shortage of critical technical competencies in nuclear organizations and may have a direct impact on safety, production, and economics. Pro-active measures aimed at knowledge building, retention and transfer have been needed.

* Nuclear organization is {{Nuclear organization}}
 +
* Nuclear organization in this Wiki refers to an organization that can be influenced by KM
 +
* The benefits of KM accrue to [[:Category:Nuclear organizations|organisations]] when they employ [[:Category:Knowledge processes]]
 +
* Organisations need to address challenges and exploit opportunities with a [[:Category:Strategy|KM strategy]] that deploys [[:Category:Tools|KM toolkits]].
 +
* NKM documents are written for the benefit of [[Nuclear organization]]s
 +
* Nuclear organizations use business processes to achieve org. goals
 +
* Nuclear organizations use and benefit from the product of education to supply competent workforce
 +
* Nuclear organizations need strategies and implementation plans and approaches for KM
 +
* [[Nuclear knowledge]] is held by a variety of [[Nuclear organization]]s. Specific nuclear knowledge challenges may vary based on the individual [[Nuclear organization]]s and associated applications.

Definition

An organization that requires nuclear knowledge in order to achieve its goals


Description

There are several reasons why KM issues may become a priority in nuclear organizations. For example, in some Member States, the nuclear industry is a maturing industry and organizations are experiencing high attrition rates due to retirements. This has highlighted their vulnerability to the loss of experts and their highly specialized and (difficult to replace) knowledge. In other Member States, there are aggressive plans underway for new builds and critical skills shortages have become a problem. Some Member States are experiencing both problems simultaneously, and further, need to staff upcoming refurbishment or decommissioning projects. Finally, there is concern in the industry over the ‘pipeline’ of adequately skilled new graduates due to the lack of university level nuclear engineering and science programmes. It takes typically months of formal in-house training and many more years of on-the-job training to build up the competencies and experience needed for many specialized NPP staff roles. Any of these factors may contribute to a shortage of critical technical competencies in nuclear organizations and may have a direct impact on safety, production, and economics. Pro-active measures aimed at knowledge building, retention and transfer have been needed.
