Halfway this summer, teachers from secondary schools and instructors from universities and colleges spent the rest of the vacation grappling with equations and formulas as they studied nuclear science and technology to develop teaching modules and case studies under the tutelage of experts from the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI).
This May, the faculty felt the nostalgia of being students once again during the Course on Nuclear Technology (CNT) and the Seminar on Nuclear Science for Teachers (SNST) conducted by the PNRI Nuclear Training Center. University professors and graduates from De La Salle University, Cagayan State University, University of Eastern Philippines and University of the Philippine Los Baños participated in the CNT. The SNST participants are composed of science teachers from several secondary schools in Metro Manila and Luzon.
Also among the participants are teachers from Quezon City Science High School and San Francisco High School, who are currently serving as pilot schools for an outreach program for high schools on nuclear science and technology. The outreach program is under the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Project RAS/0/065 on Supporting Sustainability and Networking of National Nuclear Institutions in Asia and the Pacific Region.

Marine environmental radioactivity monitoring experts and researchers from the Asia-Pacific region met in the Philippines early this May to improve the research capability to provide better marine radiological and environmental data with more stringent and intensive reviews of each country’s quality management systems.
From May 11 to 15, the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI) hosted a Workshop for Review Implementation of Quality Management Systems at the Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria in Quezon City. The workshop was conducted through the efforts of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Regional Cooperative Agreement for Research, Development and Training Related to Nuclear Science and Technology in the Asia-Pacific Region (RCA).
