International Conference on Nuclear Human Resources Development in Asia and the Pacific, Malezya, 28 - 30 Ekim 2014
The
economical developments and recent growth rates in Turkey are resulted in a
energy production and planning which foresees to double the electricity
production capacity within the next ten years. Nuclear power is expected to be
an important contributor to realize this ambitious expansion. Necessary steps have
been taken to realize two new build nuclear power plants within the desired
time frame. Upon the completion of these power plants by 2024, about 8% of the
electricity in the country will be produced by eight rectors with a total of
about 4600 MWe installed capacity. Meanwhile, supporting activities
to the National Nuclear Program are also underway. Human resource development
is an essential part of these activities. In order to avoids any shortcomings
and timely preparation of necessary human resources in this area, domestic and
international activities and collaborations have been underway.
In this presentation,
some information about current status, future forecasting, and prospective
nuclear power plant projects in Turkey will be introduced. Historical
developments and existing infrastructure in nuclear fieldwill be presented. Current
national and international activities and joint efforts will also be presented.
Finally, importance of international nuclear networks and their possible contribution
on the national infrastructure development will be discussed.
