What Technical Academy | Rosatom does

Technical Academy of Rosatom (ANO DPO Техническая академия Росатома) is the autonomous non-profit additional professional education organization serving as the unified educational, scientific, and methodological center of Rosatom State Corporation for the Russian nuclear industry. Founded in its current legal form in 2017 through the merger of the Central Institute for Professional Development (CIPK) and the Institute of Global Nuclear Safety and Physical Protection, with heritage dating to 1967, the Academy operates four major campuses in Obninsk (headquarters), Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Novovoronezh, totaling 96,486+ sq.m. of training infrastructure with on-site hotel accommodation. Its core products are professional development programs (16+ hours), professional retraining programs (250+ hours) leading to official diplomas, full-scale and analytical nuclear reactor simulators (VVER-440, AES-2006), distance/e-learning platforms, and IAEA Cooperation Center programs across five domains — including the world's first dedicated SMR training program.

The Academy's revenue model rests on contract-based training services funded primarily through Rosatom enterprises, government allocations for nuclear safety and physical protection training, and paid services to legal entities and individuals. Annual enrollment has stabilized around 23,000-26,000 students, with a cumulative 490,000+ professionals trained since 1967. Customers are organized in four primary segments: domestic nuclear industry personnel (Rosatom enterprises), international specialists from CIS and newcomer nuclear nations (Belarus, Bangladesh, Turkey, Egypt), national security and physical protection specialists, and non-energy nuclear technology practitioners. Training delivery occurs on-site at Academy campuses, on-site at Rosatom NPP facilities, and via distance/online modalities.

The entity is wholly owned and controlled by the Russian state through Rosatom State Corporation, with a Supervisory Board comprising senior Rosatom executives. It holds the distinction of being the first and only IAEA Cooperation Center operating simultaneously across five domains — nuclear knowledge management, human resources development for nuclear energy and physical security, non-energy applications, safeguards, and small modular reactors — and is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 21001:2018 certified.

Partnerships

Seven partnerships are on record, tiered core, moderate and minor.

• International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) — Small Modular Reactors DomaincoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 23 October 2024Extension and expansion of IAEA Cooperation Center status to include a fifth domain: small modular reactors (SMRs). This is the first such program globally in the SMR domain, positioning the Academy as the primary international hub for SMR training and human resource development.
• International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2019In 2019, the Academy was designated an IAEA Cooperation Center in two domains: nuclear knowledge management and human resources development for nuclear energy and physical nuclear security. In 2020, a third domain was added (non-energy applications of nuclear and radiation technologies). In 2021, a fourth domain was added (nuclear safeguards). In October 2024, the status was extended and expanded to a fifth domain — small modular reactors — making the Academy the first and only IAEA Cooperation Center operating in five domains globally.
• OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (OECD/NEA) — Virtual MissionmoderateStrategic or Co-development PartnerIn August 2020, the Moscow Branch hosted a Virtual Mission of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) to Russia, with high evaluation given by the Rosatom International Activities Block leadership. Part of the Academy's international expert cooperation program.
• Foreign Universities and Research InstitutesmoderateStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe Moscow Branch runs the 'Online Platform of Rosatom for Interaction with Universities, Research Institutes, and SMEs' — an interactive platform containing a database of scientific-technical competencies, partner search, and collaboration development between Rosatom organizations, universities, research institutes, and SMEs.

Direct peers

• Framatome: French nuclear reactor and services company that operates its own operator training centers and full-scope simulators (e.g., for EPR technology), competing directly with Technical Academy in foreign NPP personnel qualification and simulator-based training services.
• Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP): Korean state nuclear utility operating the largest nuclear training center in Daejeon with full-scope APR-1400 simulators. Highly comparable as a state-affiliated nuclear operator running its own internal training infrastructure plus international training services for countries adopting Korean reactors (UAE Barakah).
• Westinghouse Electric Company: US-based nuclear vendor operating its own reactor operator training programs and AP1000 full-scope simulators. Directly comparable as a vendor-integrated training provider for Western-aligned reactor technologies serving foreign customers (e.g., AP1000 projects in China, Europe).
• Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO): US industry-led organization that sets nuclear operator training, accreditation, and continuing qualification standards across the US commercial nuclear fleet. Most directly comparable peer as a non-vendor industry institute that drives training/credentialing standards for licensed nuclear operators.
• National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL): UK government-owned nuclear science and technology organization that delivers technical training, professional development, and qualification programs across the UK nuclear sector. Comparable as a state-affiliated national nuclear training and capability-building institution.
• EDF (Électricité de France): French nuclear utility that operates one of the world's largest nuclear training ecosystems (e.g., Edvance, EDF Training Centers) with full-scope simulators for its EPR and existing PWR fleet. Closely comparable in combining utility-scale in-house training with international training exports.

Broad incumbents

• China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC): Chinese state nuclear corporation operating its own nuclear training academies and university (CNNC Keyuan) for Hualong-One and other domestic reactor designs. Comparable as a vertically integrated state nuclear conglomerate with captive training capability, though it does not actively export training services.
• Mitsubishi Heavy Industries: Japanese nuclear vendor with operator training services for its APWR and ATMEA reactor designs, supplying training infrastructure for Japanese utilities and select international customers (e.g., Turkey, Lithuania programs). Comparable as a reactor-vendor-integrated training provider in a non-Russian technology stack.

Others

• OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA): Intergovernmental nuclear policy and standards body that runs joint training programs, workshops, and knowledge management initiatives for member states (e.g., the Virtual Mission hosted by the Academy's Moscow Branch in 2020). Comparable as a non-vendor training ecosystem actor, though not a direct competitor for fee-paying trainees.

Regional players

• Teollisuuden Voima Oy (TVO): Finnish nuclear operator (Olkiluoto, currently commissioning EPR) that runs its own operator training center and qualification programs. Comparable in operating a small, high-quality, state-affiliated nuclear training function; smaller scale and Finnish/European geographic focus.
