SINGAPORE: A new training programme will be developed to enhance Singapore’s nuclear safety capabilities and regulatory understanding, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said on Monday (Apr 20).
The agency said that the programme will be developed under an agreement it signed with the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on nuclear regulatory skills development.
The memorandum of cooperation was formalised on Apr 17 at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Convention on Nuclear Safety Review meeting in Vienna.
It was signed by Mr Ang Kok Kiat, group director of the NEA’s Radiation Protection and Nuclear Science Group, and Mr David Skeen, director of the NRC’s Office of International Programs.
