Expert: introduction of nuclear technologies to improve people’s lives and create new jobs

Director of Rusatom Bel (Rosatom’s country office in Belarus) Stanislav Levitsky shared this opinion, when speaking about promising positive effect of the implementation of strategic documents on co-operation between Rosatom and Belarus

“Atomic energy sets the tone for the main directions of our co-operation, being a ‘trunk’ on which numerous branches of new directions can ‘grow’. Their implementation improves the quality of human life and enables our green agenda to achieve environmentally friendly goals, while also creating new jobs and helping push forward sci-tech progress,” he noted.

Over the last six months, a number of strategic documents were signed with Rosatom State Corporation, including a roadmap for the development of co-operation between Belarus and Rosatom State Corporation on atomic non-energy and non-atomic projects, as well as a memorandum between the governments of Belarus and Russia on deepening strategic co-operation in peaceful uses of atomic energy and related high technologies. As part of the memorandum, in late January 2024, the State Committee for Science and Technology – together with interested parties and in liaison with Rosatom State Corporation – prepared a comprehensive programme of Belarusian-Russian co-operation on atomic non-energy and non-atomic projects until 2030. It is planned to develop liaisons in such areas as non-energy application of atomic technologies, nuclear medicine and production of medical equipment, digitalisation and telecommunication technologies, modernisation of industrial enterprises in Belarus, including using robotics, additive technologies and composite materials, etc.
