This talk will describe some of the unique and difficult issues facing the nuclear sector related to knowledge management and provide an overview of the various programmes the IAEA has implemented to help Member States address them. These range from initiatives focused on: strengthening nuclear education in the Member States; developing methodological guidance related to lifecycle management of design knowledge; and facilitating the development and adoption of advanced semantic technology such as knowledge organization systems and knowledge mapping.
