    La industria nuclear ha realizado una significativa labor de investigación analítica en el área de reactores en los últimos cincuenta años. Buena parte del conocimiento obtenido tiene carácter tácito, por lo que existe el riesgo de que se pierda a medida que las organiza- ciones se reestructuren, las prioridades cambien y los trabajadores más experimentados se retiren. Este artículo pretende ofrecer una visión general de las distintas estrategias de retención del conocimiento experto en el sector de la energía atómica. Con esta finalidad realiza una revisión de diferentes iniciativas de difusión del conocimiento tácito desde una perspectiva socio-cognitiva.

    The nuclear industry has developed a relevant analytical research work in the area of reactors over the last fifty years. A significant part of this research has the form of tacit knowledge, hence the risk exists that this knowledge is lost as organisations are re-structu- red, priorities change and the most experienced workers retire. The aim of this paper is to describe the different strategies for the retention of expert knowledge in the atomic energy sector. In this regard, several initiatives for the spreading of tacit knowledge are studied from a socio-cognitive view.
