Developing Soft Skills Among Managers of Large-Scale International Projects in the Nuclear Industry

This study aims to systematize practical recommendations for applying core principles of managing large, multi-tiered international projects in the nuclear industry, based on both Russian and international experience. The resulting compilation outlines specific analytical tools that identify risk-prone areas in the management processes of nuclear power plant (NPP) construction projects, as well as actionable steps to mitigate these risks. Particular attention is given to the project manager’s role within the oversight of a parent company and their integration into its broader business processes. Additionally, the proposed classification offers the foundation for a training system capable of dynamically addressing emerging challenges and adapting to new approaches. The research draws upon established project management frameworks and employs both general scientific methods — such as analysis and synthesis, observation, grouping, and comparison — and specialized methodologies. The findings may be useful to project managers seeking to organize and enhance their knowledge and experience in managing NPP construction projects.
