Major Features of Sudan Nuclear Power Programme
(SNPP)

• According to Sudan Energy Plan an addition of
  4400 MW from Nuclear generation should be
  introduced between the years 2020 and 2030.
• The size of first Nuclear unit will be 600 MW and
  it is planned to be commissioned in the year
  2020.

Objectives of HRD Strategy

• To develop and maintain national human resources
  to successfully manage, operate, maintain, and
  regulate nuclear power facilities.
• To provide the decision makers with the necessary
  requirements on human resources.
• To identify and evaluate the required
  competencies during the different phases of the
  project.

7
CURRENT CAPABILITIES

• The current institutional capabilities of
  organizations related to the NPP include
  Universities, Sudan Atomic Energy Commission
  (SAEC), Radiation Protection Technical Committee
  (RPTC), National Electricity Corporation (NEC)
  and the General Directorate of Energy Affairs
  (GDEA).

8
Universities in Sudan

• There are more than forty universities
  established by public and private sectors
• Universities deliver undergraduate and
  postgraduate studies in different disciplines,
  including science, engineering and other
  supportive fields such as computer sciences,
  physics, chemistry and geological sciences.

9
(cont.) Universities in Sudan

• Nuclear Physics courses are taught in several of
  the national universities.
• Undergraduate programme in nuclear engineering
  started in 2009 at Sudan University for Science
  and Technology
• Sudan has lately witnessed a great increase of
  graduates in Science, Engineering Technology.
• Courses leading to Master degree in Radiation
  Protection, Medical Physics and Nuclear Science
  and Technology at Sudan Academy of Sciences
  (SAS).

10
Statistics on university students in engineering
and science

• Registered undergraduate students in governmental
  universities in engineering and science in the
  year 2007-8 is 43,980

Capabilities of Sudan Atomic Energy Commission
(SAEC)

• SAEC runs (under SAS) Master programmes on
• Radiation Protection.
• Medical Physics
• Nuclear Science Technology.
• The SAEC also runs training courses and on- job
  training in the various nuclear related fields,
  mostly with IAEA support.
• The SAEC has a well established NDT Training
  Centre.

15
Capabilities of Sudan Atomic Energy Commission
(SAEC)

• SAEC is planning to establish two research
  reactors 30 kW and 5MW during the next 5 years.
• The research reactors are expected to play an
  important role in the training of human resources
  for the NPP.

General Directorate for Energy Affairs (GDEA)

• The GDEA, Ministry of Energy Mining, is
  responsible for designing the human resources
  management system for the various aspects of the
  NPP.
• Main areas include organization development,
  manpower planning, employees selection
  recruitment and HR training development.

19
Approach to be followed for developing human
resources

• The approach is based on the following steps
• Setting up the strategic direction.
• Designing the human resource management system.
• Planning the total workforce.
• Generating the required human resources.
• Investing in human resource development and
  performance.
• Assessing and sustaining organizational
  competence and performance.

20
Investigations to determine the needed human
resources

• The investigations will consider
• Organization development.
• Manpower planning.
• Employee selection and recruitment.
• Training development.
• Management development
• Performance appraisal.
• Employee rewards.

21
Human Resources Plan of Activities

• Year 1 Recruitment training of staff for the
  implementation of the NPP (NEPIO).
• Years 1- 3 Human resources needed will be
  surveyed.
• Year 2 Design of HR Management System.
• Years 2-3 Planning of the Total NPP Workforce.
• Years 2 -12 generating required HR for all
  stages of the NPP, up to commissioning
  operation. Thus, needed human resources will be
  assured.

22
International Cooperation

• Sudan is exclusively committed to the peaceful
  applications of nuclear energy.
• Sudan will satisfy the necessary legal framework
  for the successful implementation of its NPP.
• Sudan looks forward to the cooperation of the
  international community, particularly with IAEA
  for the successful implementation of its HRD
  programmes.
