Atom in the 21st Century: Problems and Prospects
An essential element of sustainable human development is its’ energy security. The perspective growth of energy production, especially in developing countries must be securely backed up by the fuel, and on the other hand do not impair the environmental security of the world. In addition, limited amount of fuels can cause tension related to providing free access to energy resources. This is the global challenge of 21st century.
Nuclear power could be the solution to this problem, subject to international cooperation in the development of innovative reactor technologies of the future to ensure the safe and environmentally sound development of large-scale nuclear energy while reducing the risk of proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Roundtable meeting is aimed to discuss key issues in large-scale development of atomic energy such as nuclear non-proliferation, nuclear and physical security of irradiated nuclear fuel and radioactive waste in the context of globalization processes and intercivilizational dialogue.
