Foreword
Nuclear knowledge is the basis of all nuclear activities, and the need to manage this knowledge has long been recognized by the IAEA and by Member States. Today, nuclear knowledge management has been established in many nuclear organizations and has been identified as one of the key factors that can contribute to safe, secure and efficient use of nuclear techniques.
For nuclear safety in particular, nuclear knowledge management is of high importance, since securing an adequate nuclear safety knowledge base is essential for both operators and regulatory bodies, and a lack of nuclear safety knowledge can have significant implications. Managing nuclear safety knowledge is also complex, since various types of knowledge need to be dealt with, different types of nuclear safety knowledge may have different owners, and long timescales need to be considered.
Nuclear safety knowledge management is defined in this publication as the management of knowledge relevant to or required for nuclear safety. Nuclear safety knowledge management entails using knowledge management approaches, tools and techniques for the purpose of nuclear safety.
The ultimate objective of all nuclear safety knowledge management activities is to sustain and improve the competence of individuals and the capacity of organizations or countries to use knowledge effectively and responsibly for safety (i.e. for achieving the fundamental safety objective of protecting people and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation).
Member States are in different phases of implementing nuclear safety knowledge management activities. At the organizational level, many nuclear safety knowledge management activities are being undertaken, in particular in regulatory bodies and technical and scientific support organizations. At the national level, there are additional elements to consider, including the role of governments, country-wide stakeholder involvement, national human resource development, cross-organizational learning and sharing of regulatory experience, developing a national memory, national knowledge resilience, and coping with changes in technology or society.
This publication provides the conceptual basis of nuclear safety knowledge management, suggests key national level approaches and summarizes experience gained to date by Member States. The experience gained by some Member States and the lessons learned could be a basis for other Member States to develop their national level strategy or a national level coordination mechanism for nuclear safety knowledge management. In this context, this publication can serve as an additional resource that complements the previous publications relating to this subject.
The IAEA would like to express its appreciation to all of the experts who contributed to the
