Leadership training

In light of the lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi accident, we are developing a leadership training program focused on cultivating a mindset that recognizes the unique risks associated with nuclear energy. This program is designed for all levels, from management to administrators and practitioners, and aims to implement systematic training to strengthen leadership skills.

Table Top Exercise	By simulating various challenging scenarios that cannot be experienced in real life, participants will enhance their non-technical skills in emergency response, including mindset (commitment and decision-making) and supporting skills such as situational awareness and decision-making.	In this exercise, scenarios involving challenging situations, different from regular disaster drills, will be presented. The emergency response center will receive a vast amount of constantly changing inputs from both inside and outside the plant. Through this exercise, the emergency response center leaders and their supporters will experience the difficulties of recognizing the situation, making decisions, and mobilizing the organization under the constraints of limited resources and time, gaining insights into various challenges.
