Exchange of experience and expertise

Exchange Programs under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and Nuclear Safety Research Association (NSRA) of Japan invite nuclear researchers from neighboring Asian countries to Japan and dispatches Japanese experts to other countries. As the focal point of this program, IAD processed the necessities in favor of the selected scientists, engineers, doctors and technicians of BAEC. The fellowships offer Research Institute Course and University Course. Both of these courses are enable to gather state-of-the-art technical knowledge and to perform high grade research activities in Japan for contributing to build up and to strengthen nuclear base and nuclear safety works in BAEC.

During the reported period, three Follow-up Training Courses (FTCs) are conducted in Dhaka with the help of Japanese and Bangladeshi experts. Through the FTCs one hundred and eleven (111) participants are trained in different areas of nuclear science and technology. In addition five (05) participants for Instructor Training Course (ITC), one (1) participant for Plant safety Course one (1) participant for administrative course and one (1) participant for Basic Radiation Course have completed the courses. These courses are successfully conducted in Japan.

In case of the appropriate set up/opperation of procured new nuclear instruments specially, under ADP (Annual Developed Program) Projects, IAD works to complete the service training processes in order to avail them in the instrument maker countries. Such service trainings are financed by the instrument suppliers.

From July 2008, IAD has been maintaining a data base for the foreign visits. Generally, high officials have attended in various vital conferences and meetings time to time such as RCA and IAEA annual conferences. On the other hand, scientists, engineers, doctors, geologists, technicians and administrators of BAEC, MOST and other organizations have attended in various meetings, conferences and workshops and have availed significant number of fellowships and trainings in the reported period under TC, RCA, RTC, of IAEA projects, FNCA projects. The flowing Table summarized the Foreign Visit Database chronologically for which IAD worked in the financial year 2011-2013.
