The Development of CANDU Technology and Training at the Institute for Advanced Engineering in Korea

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the cooperative agreement between the Institute for Advanced Engineering (IAE) and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) to facilitate the transfer of CANDU technology in South Korea. This paper will present those AECL technology program activities worked on by IAE staff with AECL support along with the associated issues which these activities addressed and the expertise nature of this work. The training methods utilized and an assessment of their success will be discussed to show the potential applicability of these methods to the nuclear power industry staff of other countries. The spin-off cooperative work initiated with other Korean organizations as part of this initiative will also be considered.
