INPRO Training A comprehensive training programme (the INPRO School) covering all key aspects, services, tools and activities from all INPRO Tasks and aiming to assist the Member States in their long range and strategic planning of nuclear energy program as part of country’s energy mix.
E-learning and Distance Learning Tools to support INPRO Training The Online Assist Training combines features of the self-education e-learning course and on-line consultation via the web conferencing software, led by external experts and dedicated IAEA staff through the IAEA Learning Management System platform.

Practical Arrangement

  • The Practical Arrangements between the International Atomic Energy Agency Viena (IAEA) and Institute for Nuclear Research Piteşti (RATEN ICN) on Cooperation in the Area of Scientific and Technical Support to Member States in Nuclear Safety, signed in 2016 September, has been renewed in 2019 for 3 years.
  • Favorable agreement for IAEA Member States, especially developing countries, interested in the development of the nuclear field, to provide the necessary training for the development of their own activities, to develop their own infrastructures, to start the preliminary activities of building nuclear power plants, consolidating and supporting the services provided by IAEA Vienna

ALMERA, RANET

  • Participation of RATEN ICN in the activities of the ALMERA Network (Network of Analytical Laboratories for the Measurement of Environmental Radioactivity) as a national contact point
  • ICN RATEN participation through CNCAN to the RANET (Response Assistance Network)

Collaborations
