Speech of SC Rosatom’s Director General Sergey Kirienko at ATOMEXPO 2012

Dear participants and guests of the International Forum ATOMEXPO 2012,

May I welcome you at the Forum with all my heart.

Today we can observe that developing of world nuclear energy is going on.

Seven power units have been put into operation during the previous year, three of them based on Russian technologies. Five more power units have been started. That means that Fukushima syndrome didn’t destroy the plans of different countries to create or to broaden nuclear generation.

However, one of the most important and up-to-date tasks for the nuclear community is a complex approach to safe operation of nuclear power plants. I am sure this topic will become one of the most debated during the Forum

This year nuclear companies from 51 countries of the world will join ATOMEXPO 2012. It is especially important for us to see representatives of the emerging nuclear countries who have come to study the best approaches to personnel training, national regulatory system creation, and public relation technologies.

May I wish all the Forum Participants new interesting meetings and productive discussions!

Sergey Kirienko
Director General State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom
