• By 2016 the whole TNEEM Master Program will be on KTH’s E-learning platform • using extensively computer supported assignments/exam

evaluation with Maple T/A - Möbius

• Video recording of the lectures in order to improve quality of the lectures, give program students an option to review lectures, to harmonize Dual Degree/Dual Diploma programs etc..

• First KTH’s MOOC (Massive Open On-line Course) in nuclear technology will be ready 2016.

• We are defining KTH’s E-learning platform!

EMPHASIS ON NUCLEAR POWER SAFETY

16

Safety Leadership in Nuclear Power Industry

Students acquire:

• knowledge about the demands for safety culture and safety leadership in nuclear activities and why they are absolutely necessary, having in mind lessons learned from nuclear accidents and incidents; and based on this knowledge:

• ability to use established system indicators to ensure a high level of safety culture in companies and organizations involved in nuclear activities;

• ability to identify situations where the principle of "safety first" would appear to be in conflict with other operational objectives;

17

Safety Leadership in Nuclear Power Industry

Lectures are given by expert guest lecturers from authorities and industry:

• Dr. Lars Högberg, former Director General of the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI)

• Kerstin Dahlgren, senior safety expert with experience from SKI, IAEA and Vattenfall

• Anders Jörle, vice president Public Affairs of Swedish Space Corporation, former director of information at SKI

• Lars Gunnar Larsson, senior expert in nuclear power, former Deputy Director General of SKI, Director of the Nuclear Safety Department in the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)

• Per Lindell, former Managing Director of the Barsebäck NPP, Managing Director (2005-2010) of E.ON Kärnkraft Sverige AB
