Instructor Training Program (ITP)
ITP is conducted by Nuclear Human Resource Development Center (NuHRDeC), the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) since 1996 under contract with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MEXT). The aims of ITP are to contribute to human resource development (HRD) in the field of nuclear technology in Asian countries and to make nuclear facility located areas in Japan become a hub for international activities. ITP initially started with two participating countries, and currently the number of the countries has increased up to eleven.
Instructor Training Course (ITC)
ITC is designed to foster technical instructors concerning three areas: Reactor Engineering, Nuclear/Radiological Emergency Preparedness and Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring. During the three-to-five-week courses in Tokai Village, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, participants from Asian countries aim to acquire necessary basic knowledge as instructors through joining lectures by experts, exercises using a variety of equipment, and visits to nuclear facilities.
Follow-up Training Course (FTC)
FTC is held in each ITC participating country. The ITC participants give lectures in FTC by making the best use of knowledge and experience gained from ITC. They become excellent instructors by the accumulation of teaching experiences year by year through FTC. Japanese experts are dispatched to FTC to give lectures and technical advice for the establishment of the self-sustainable training courses.
Advanced Instructor Training Course (AITC)
AITC is designed for enhancing FTC instructors’ quality in three areas: Reactor Engineering, Nuclear/Radiological Emergency Preparedness and Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring. Participants of this course stay in Tokai village, Ibaraki prefecture, Japan for about ten days. They are expected to acquire advanced technical knowledge and skills through the course. The lectures and exercises are organized to learn deeply about themes of each area.
Nuclear Technology Seminar (Seminar)
Seminar is designed to cultivate engineers and specialists in specific areas of nuclear technology. In Tsuruga city, Fukui prefecture, three seminars are held: Nuclear Plant Safety, Nuclear Energy Officials, and Site Preparation and Public Relations. Basic Radiation Knowledge for School Education is held in Tokai Village, Ibaraki Prefecture. Participants of Seminar are invited to Japan for one to four weeks to improve their specialty through tours to nuclear facilities, discussion and interaction with people at nuclear facilities located areas, as well as lectures and exercises.
