Course Learning Objectives

World demand for energy is likely to grow dramatically over the next 25 years, at around 50% or more, with most of that demand coming from emerging markets. It is not sustainable for 80% of the world's energy supply to come from fossil fuels. Rising prices, energy security concerns, dwindling supplies, and of course global warming and climate change require immediate action to develop alternative and clean sources of energy. Many countries are looking at nuclear energy to meet a substantial part of their own energy supply. Nuclear energy offers a viable, clean, and environmentally sound alternative. Today over 77% of France's energy is supplied by clean and safe nuclear plants. Smaller countries such as Belgium and Finland rely on nuclear energy for their vibrant economies. However, nuclear energy must be carefully planned and must meet rigorous standards of regulation, licensing, and siting. Most importantly, the public and consumers must believe that the benefits are substantial and the industry is safe and environmentally sound.

IP3’s course on Nuclear Energy Regulation: Licensing, Siting, Inspection and Public Outreach is designed to assist government policy makers and regulators, as well as the energy industry and business community design, plan, and regulation environmentally sound and economically efficient nuclear power plants. Through practical, process-oriented sessions on how to establish regulatory rules and regulations, the preparation of licensing and siting standards, and site visits to regulatory agencies; participants in this program will learn how to develop appropriate strategies for nuclear energy planning and regulation or their own countries.

“Many countries have proved, for decades, that nuclear energy is a clean and reliable source of energy. However, the regulatory issues regarding safety and disposal, as well as construction and operations are significant. As more countries look to alternative energy and diversification, understanding the issues in investing and regulating nuclear energy will be paramount.”
