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, Under Construction OPR1000 : Shin-Gori (#2) APR1400 : Shin-Gori (#3,4), Shin-Uljin (#1,2) tjlee@kaeri.re.kr 2

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. This figure(The infrastructure development programme) published in the IAEA 2007 report. Milestones in the Development of a National , Nuclear Energy Series, No. NG-G-3.1, p. 7, IAEA, 2007

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.

2. IAEA 19 Infrastructure Issues for 1st NPP (2008) Infrastructure issues by the IAEA, 2008 1 National Position 2 Nuclear Safety 3 Management 4 Funding and Financing 5 Legislative Framework 6 Safeguards 7 Regulatory Framework 8 Radiation Protection 9 Electrical Grid 10 Human Resources Development 11 Stakeholders Involvement 12 Site and Supporting Facilities 13 Environmental Protection 14 Emergency Planning 15 Security and Physical Protection 16 Nuclear Fuel Cycle 17 Radioactive Waste 18 Industrial Involvement 19 Procurement 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.
