2. International Atomic Energy Agency What is the Nuclear Knowledge Specifics for nuclear knowledge are: its long-term accumulation and the long life cycle of facility operation remarkable investment from governments (public money) security, non-proliferation and safety concerns; international obligation needs large critical mass of basic nuclear science to support practical applications.

3. International Atomic Energy Agency NKM in Words (IAEA TECDC-1510) An integrated, systematic approach for identifying, acquiring, transforming, developing, disseminating, using, sharing and preserving knowledge relevant to achieving specific objectives.

4. International Atomic Energy Agency What is Knowledge Management?

5. International Atomic Energy Agency Governments, including regulators; Designers, vendors, utilities, operators, suppliers, consultants, and support organizations; Training and academic institutions; Research and Development (R&D) organizations; The Public and Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs); and International organizations. Who owns the Nuclear Knowledge

7. International Atomic Energy Agency TWG – NPPIC_NKM Unit_21 May 2009 7 The role for the Agency is to assist in the transfer of knowledge from “centres of competence” to the “centres of growth”. The potentially high risk of knowledge loss and additional cost for future generations must be avoided, and the Agency can help to integrate this long-term aspect into today's strategic decisions. The Agency role
