One of the most important aspects of Human Resource and Manpower Development is in Education and Training. Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), being the only University in Asia offering an undergraduate programme on Nuclear Science has been singled out in the Malaysia National Nuclear Policy in the Human Capital Development. The policy was used in comparison to the current UKM undergraduate Nuclear Science Programme to determine whether the programme is align with the aims and strategies adopted in the realisation of Malaysia first Nuclear Power Plant by the 2021. A qualitative data analysis with NVivo Technique was used in the study. The results indicate that the Programme is aligned with all of the thrusts with varying percentage covered and corresponds with in Malaysia National Nuclear Policy strategies.

Human Capital Development

Establishment of relevant nuclear-related academic programmes in local universities, starting with the establishment of the Nuclear Science Department at UKM in 1978;

Benefitted from multilateral & bilateral cooperation programmes under the IAEA TACP, including the Extra-budgetary Programme (EBP), Asian Nuclear Safety Network (ANSN), Asian Network for Nuclear Education and Training (ANENT) & RCA, and FNCA;

National policies on education & training should focus more on science and technology, with a target ratio of 60:40 of science to arts students in secondary and tertiary education, while also enhancing scientific R&D in local universities;

Need to address all levels of human capital development for all stages & activities for both energy & non-energy applications of nuclear science & technology in the country.
