Nuclear Knowledge Management

Sažetak
Nuclear knowledge management is important factor in research and development (R&D) processes same as decision-making processes in nuclear and non-nuclear fields. It improves research efficiency and effectiveness and provides many benefits to research and development organisations. A collection of nuclear information does not represent nuclear knowledge. Also, a collection of nuclear data, which is not in comprehensive form capable of communication and use, can not be considered as nuclear information. Knowledge is information evaluated and organised by human mind so that it can be used by purpose. Especially, nuclear knowledge comprises strategy, practice, method and approach. In nuclear knowledge management all resources must be mobilised. The main goal in nuclear knowledge management is how to establish communication channels between experts and managers in nuclear and related non-nuclear fields. Nuclear knowledge from nuclear sciences and technologies should be connected with and applied in other important issues such as nuclear waste management, regulatory and policy aspects, public relations, sustainable development, proliferation, etc. Since developing countries as Croatia have difficulties in R&D processes mainly because of small budgets, nuclear knowledge must be managed through collaboration of several institutions. Universities are regarded not only as teaching and educational institutions but also as creators of new knowledge and innovation through research and organisators of knowledge and information exchange. In 2005 Croatian universities will be reorganised according to Bologna Declaration and fully involved in European study system. The Republic of Croatia promulgated the Nuclear Safety Act enacted by the Croatian Parliament at its session of 15 October 2003. This Act regulates safety and protective measures for using nuclear materials and specified equipment and performing nuclear activities, and establishes the State Office for Nuclear Safety. At the end of 1998, the Ministry of Economics of the Republic of Croatia issued the Decree about founding the TPC (technical support centre) as the leading technical agency for case of a nuclear emergency, i.e. a potential radiological emergency from nuclear facilities, especially from Krsko NPP (Slovenia) and Paks NPP (Hungary). The TPC has been organised into 3 expert groups: expert group for environmental monitoring, expert group for analysis of emergency and estimation of consequences and expert group for preparation of technical bases. Each of them is supported in its work by outside expert institutions. This is an example of collaboration of state institutions and universities in nuclear knowledge management.
