“…Moreover, activities of education, training and human resource development are being promoted including decommissioning area. In the field of high level waste disposal, which requires very long time knowledge preservation, JAEA has developed a KM support system and it obtained good results (Makino, 2012). Especially after the Fukushima Daiichi accident, education and training became more important for the future decommissioning projects.…”

The decommissioning of a nuclear facility is a long term project, handling information which begins from the design, construction and operation. Moreover, the decommissioning project is likely to be extended because of the lack of the waste disposal site especially in Japan. In this situation, because the transfer of knowledge and education to the next generation is a crucial issue, integration and implementation of a system for knowledge management is necessary in order to solve it. For this purpose, the total system of decommissioning knowledge management system (KMS) is proposed. In this system, we have to arrange, organize and systematize the data and information of the plant design, maintenance history, trouble events, waste management records etc. The collected data, information and records should be organized by computer support system e.g. data base system. It becomes a base of the explicit knowledge. Moreover, measures of extracting tacit knowledge from retiring employees are necessary. The experience of the retirees should be documented as much as possible through effective questionnaire or interview process. The integrated knowledge mentioned above should be used for the planning, implementation of dismantlement or education for the future generation. method of knowledge accumulation in the decommissioning work process is proposed. Enhancement of communication between present employeesCommunication activities, such as regular meetings, information exchange via intranet or e-mail are basis of the knowledge exchange in a plant. Based on the existing communication infrastructure, enhancement activities should be carried out for knowledge socialization. For example, application of Social Networking Service (SNS) inside the organization said to be an effective tool for improving communication and KM. Such system can hold personnel data base and automatically accumulate knowledge obtained during the daily work. Moreover, it is possible to load valuable technical information and questions raised by users and their answers. In this way, the system becomes knowledge accumulation and communication system without much effort. Enhancement of knowledge internalization of present employeesThe communication via computer system is not enough and face-to-face communication is still necessary. Then, activities such as study meeting of present employees or discussion between different generations are necessary for knowledge internalization. Knowledge transfer support from retireesAfter retiring of experienced employees, in some cases, the present employees need help of retirees. For this situation, retirees should join the above mentioned inside SNS even after retirement and give opinions or suggestions for the problem solution. This requires consent of retirees, but it is very effective to make up the knowledge gap.
