Tamara Korbut said: “Just like the entire international community Belarus faces global challenges. In particular, those are climate change, diagnostics and treatment of oncological diseases, efforts to ensure economic, energy, and food security. Nuclear energy industry plays the key role in resolving a number of problems."
Tamara Korbut said: “Nuclear technologies find non-energy applications increasingly often. One of the promising fields is research reactors, which are used to train and educate personnel, produce isotopes, for neutron activation analysis, in matters relating to materials science."
When a license is to be granted, all the stages are evaluated and considered, including the first loading of fuel into the reactor core, subcritical trials of the reactor unit, the fulfillment of physical experiments, reactor power startup, and pilot commercial operation.
