– Conduct of Nuclear Energy 2008 was a follow-up on Belarus’s decision to build NPP

The conduct of the 1st International Specialized Exhibition “Nuclear Energy 2008” in Minsk was a natural follow-up on Belarus’s decision to build its own nuclear power plant.

Today, the Baltic states – Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Poland — are showing increasing interest in nuclear power engineering. Belarus has also joined this campaign. This is exactly what we call global nuclear renaissance. Those countries are quickly developing and they need more and more energy for their economies. Even though they are not big and even though they know that they will have to spend big money to build nuclear power plants, they are ready to take such expenses as they realize that NPP is a guarantee of energy security.

I attended the exhibition and I saw that nuclear safety was its pivotal idea, the basis of almost all presented projects: from NPP construction to personnel training.

Everybody was unanimous that a nuclear power plant is the safest source of energy, that it is even safer than many so-called alternative sources.

I am absolutely convinced that Russian-Byelorussian cooperation has good prospects in the nuclear sector and in the field of NPP construction, in particular.
