INSTN supporting development of human capital for the JHR

INSTN supporting development of human capital for the JHR

INSTN designs the training guidelines for the operators of the Jules Horowitz reactor.

When developing the new-generation experimental nuclear reactor, the Jules Horowitz reactor, the operations department asked INSTN to make the operating guidelines more reliable.

As the commissioning tests begin, it is essential to identify and map the activities, and related competences, and then plan the training accordingly. The future operating department drew on INSTN’s expertise to co-construct these guidelines.

Following the SAT - Systematic Approach to Training - method, INSTN initially validated five activity-competences guidelines established by the JHR department for the operating job profiles (i.e. more than 500 competences!). Subsequently, we delivered the required training guidelines, with competences development pathways and the mapping of targeted training (around a hundred modules were identified).

"We have defined a training plan covering all the strategic competences, with, at the customer's request, optimization of the order, grouping and recycling of training courses," says Bruno Tarride, in charge of this project at INSTN. It remains for the JHR team to get to grips with and deploy the training plan to ensure that operations comply with nuclear safety and security rules.

Xavier Perrette, Vice President – International Relations, is delighted with this collaboration, and adds: "According to needs, INSTN can support companies through all stages of the development of their human capital, from the creation of job roles reference frameworks to the deployment of a training plan and the monitoring of learning outcomes."

AMETIS 2020, first international school for the IMPACT chair

The International chair 'Innovative Materials and Processes Accelerated through Computing Technologies' (IMPACT) is organizing its first international school AMETIS (Advanced Manufacturing for Energy and Transportation International School) from June 28 to July 3, 2020.

It will cover theoretical and technological concepts in materials processes related to 3D printing, nanofabrication and the latest generations of thin film deposition processes in the vapour phase. This highly technological school is intended for PhD students, researcher-teachers and industrialists who wish improve their skills in the development of high-performance materials for the low-carbon energy and transport industries.

The IMPACT chair, partly financed by INSTN Foundation, aims to develop a programme of excellence in teaching and research on materials within INSTN and CEA laboratories, by promoting exchanges and synergies with academic and industrial partners. The objective of this chair is to shorten the development times of emerging processes and to discover new high-performance materials more quickly and at a lower cost, thanks to the positive impact of digital technologies.
