Extensive business program will be presented by hosts of the ATOMEXPO 2015, VII International Forum, which is to be held from 1st to 3rd of June 2015 in Moscow, Gostiny Dvor. Special attention will be given to issues of the safe use of nuclear technologies, handling of radioactive wastes (RAW) and spent nuclear fuel (SNF). The participants of round table “Economic efficiency, new technologies for nuclear- and radiation-hazardous facilities decommissioning and for RAW handling as an efficient safety strategy” will discuss the Russian and foreign experience in dealing with spent nuclear fuel. They will share knowledge in the field of safe isolation of radioactive wastes, RAW industrial processing and conditioning technologies and technologies of decommissioning of the nuclear industry’s facilities. In addition, the speakers will bring up the topics of relevancy of the Russian experience in generation of regulatory model for RAW burial for the countries which are planning to develop nuclear power.
