Int’l nuclear power exhibition bound for Hanoi

The third international nuclear power exhibition will take place at the Cultural and Friendship Palace in Hanoi from May 14-17, the Viet Nam Atomic Energy Institute (VAEI) announced on May 10.

VAEI director Vuong Huu Tan said the exhibition will see the participation of representatives from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), the China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group (CGNPG), the Republic of Korea, Japan, Russia and France.

The event will provide the latest information about the nuclear power development trends and the achievements of advanced nuclear power industries around the world.

The exhibition is a good chance for Vietnamese policy makers, managers and scientists to learn from foreign countries’ experiences in developing nuclear power plants for civil purposes. Viet Nam is preparing to build the first such plant in 2015.
