Inspiring lectures and challenges for the next generation
• George Felgate (then the WANO Managing Director) - How do we transfer lessons learnt from past experience and transfer it to future operators?
![Page 11: 1 WNA Symposium 2013 NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED Influence of World Nuclear University on my Career Ann Roberts, Organisational Learning Fleet Manager, EDF](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051115/56649e895503460f94b8eb28/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Impact on my career
• It was the combination of:- Realising that nuclear is truly global, sharing
the same challenges and solutions- Recognition that nuclear is unique in sharing
information with its competitors- Inspiring lectures and challenges for the next
generation
• That led me to apply and get the role of Organisational Learning Fleet Manager
