Hundreds of leading atomic energy experts from Asia are gathering in Hanoi on January 20-22 for an annual conference to examine global nuclear power trends.
High on the agenda of the Nuclear Power Asia 2014 will be discussions relating to Japan’s post-Fukushima challenges, safety solutions, social consensus, legal framework, financing, project approval, human resource development, and advanced technology application.
Participants will also touch upon other key issues such as South East Asia’s future prospects for the development of nuclear power and the development of newly emerging countries in the context of global nuclear power.
Vietnam insists Vietnam uses atomic energy for peaceful purposes, committing to nuclear safety and security and nonproliferation of nuclear weapons.
In an effort to fulfill its commitments, the country has joined all international conventions on nuclear safety, security, and nonproliferation of nuclear weapons.
Over the past two years, Vietnam has ratified the Convention on Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and Radioactive Waste Management and it has completed the fuel conversion programme for Da Lat reactor.
