On June 28, 2016, the World Nuclear Exhibition, one of the key events of the world nuclear industry, began in Paris. 680 companies from more than 29 countries participate at the event. ROSATOM is one of the main partners of the exhibition and presents its combined exposition with the latest Russian technologies in the field of nuclear energy, as well as innovative and promising projects.

      Within the framework of the business program, ROSATOM held a panel discussion "Pragmatic management of the back-end of the fuel cycle – a pathway to sustainability". Chairman of the session Nikolay Drozdov, Director of International Business Department of ROSATOM, said: "In the modern world it is impossible to start the implementation of the nuclear program without a basic strategy of the back-end of the fuel cycle. The key issue is to choose the optimal solution from the various options proposed. For example, in Russia, we are actively developing and implementing innovative technologies for spent nuclear fuel reprocessing and radioactive waste management. We adhere to the position that we should not shift the responsibility for decisions on radioactive waste management and spent nuclear fuel on our future generations, including increasing the environmental load. As part of the work, last year in Russia there was a power start-up of BN-800 reactor. Also ROSATOM started production of MOX fuel. Together, both companies will enable us to reprocess high-level waste, significantly reducing its activity, and reuse it."
