Japan trains nuclear power for Vietnam

Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy Co., Ltd. has just announced the launch of an international human resource training program linked to Tokyo Institute of Technology (TITECH) in the field of nuclear power and energy. and environment, focusing on Southeast Asian countries including Vietnam.

At the meeting between the Ministers of Vietnam and Japan in October 2010, Japan was selected as a partner in the second nuclear power plant construction project in Vietnam, which is expected to start commercial operation. trade in 2021.

One of the key conditions of this project is the cooperation in human resource training in the field of nuclear energy. Within the framework of this program, Hitachi-GE and TITECH designed a course with Japanese lecturers who were sent to teach directly at Vietnam Electricity University.

Currently, Southeast Asian countries are planning to develop nuclear power plants, but human resources trained in the fields of nuclear power, energy and the environment are very limited. This makes the development of human resources in this industry an urgent issue.

From the incident of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, the transfer of knowledge and updated technology is considered an important requirement to operate safer nuclear power generation and risk prevention. At the same time, human resource development through specialized education and training is a key element in this field globally.

In the future, Hitachi-GE will continue to focus on developing human resources in the field of nuclear power, energy and environment to ensure a stable energy supply in Vietnam and Eastern countries. Other South Asia.
