In Korea, nuclear energy plays an important role in the energy mix.
The first commercial nuclear power plant, Gori Unit 1, has been operated since 1978.
Currently, there are 23 nuclear plants in operation, providing about 30% of the total electricity generation,
with 0 additional units are under construction,

Let’s turn to the general considerations for nuclear HRD. 7

8. 2. IAEA Infrastructure Development Program
As shown in Figure, There are three major organization entities typically involved in the development of a nuclear power programme.
phases of development, each has specific role play, with responsibilities changing as the programme advanced.
1(first) phase is considerations before a decision to launch a nuclear power programme is taken.
2(second) phase is preparatory work for the construction of a nuclear power pant after a policy decision has been taken.
3(third) phase Activities to implement a first nuclear power plant.

Sufficient human resources to issue bid request are in place
Initial education and training for remaining human resources
All human resources to commission and operate the first nuclear power plant
Educational and training programmes for continuing flow of qualified people are underway
Each phase of the first NPP HRD program can be summarized as follows:
first phase, After NEPIO establishment and approval, In this step should be recognize of the specialized training needed for even experienced personnel in nuclear safety, security, safeguards, radiation protection and management system.
Second Phase is Preparatory work step to the construction of a nuclear power plant after a policy decision has been taken.
So this phase is necessary to operation and maintenance education for high-level, and technical expertise.
Third phase is necessary to Activities step to implement a first nuclear power plant. so the competence and national level Enhanced education Opportunities Enhanced training programs for operator and technicians is demanded.
Last fourth phase, operate the first nuclear power plant. This step require to Sustain the competence and national level Enhanced education Opportunities Enhanced training programs for operator and technicians.

There is a wide range of infrastructural issues that need to be considered in introducing a nuclear power program. IAEA has reported 19 issues for the national infrastructure development of nuclear power program. [1]. Human resources development is considered as one of the important issues. This means that a country should establish a training system and program in its early stage of the national nuclear energy development program [2].
The purpose of this paper is to suggest, based on the Korean experiences, a framework of the process of human resources development and required training system and program for the countries commencing their first nuclear power program.
