 To spite a mother
Toshiba may become not a very fortunate ally for Russian nuclear scientists, but surely will become their bitter enemy. Westinghouse controlled by Japanese is slow and sure regrouping its powers in East Europe, preparing for driving out Russian TVEL from that business. And in Kazakhstan Japanese-American alliance is trying to stop uranium export to Russia and to redirect uranium resources of the Republic to servicing the needs of Westinghouse.
Allegedly, Atomenergoexport could propose Japanese corporation its services in the sphere of a nuclear fuel cycle. There is some point in that. But the problem is that Japan will be a full member of the American GNEP initiative, within this initiative some dangerous tendencies for the Russian nuclear fuel cycle are taking shapes.
Perhaps, the only argument for the cooperation with Toshiba might be a desire to exert pressure upon the Unite States, which, you know, have stopped a signing procedure of 123 treaty with Russia. Washington may become more compliant indeed if realizes, that Moscow is capable of managing without Russian-American nuclear friendship.

Interview
Joachim Knebel
I think it is very important conference in the field of the liquid metal technology. It
gives very well overview on what is done worldwide in this field, especially in
Russia, which is the leading nation in the liquid metal technology (lead and
lead-bismuth).
In the conference we see the presentations on all research works in Russia, starting
50 years ago. Initially, it was the submarine application and now it is starting to be
the civilian application. It is done in parallel to the light-water reactors and sodium
reactors just in order to find the solutions for the energy problems.
This conference gives the very good overview of the work in Russia. Of course, I
would like to stress we can see also the works done in international collaboration
with Europe, Japan and USA.
I am coordinator of the biggest EURATOM project, which deals with the
transmutation of the high-level waste. We are studying the heavy-liquid metal cooled
subcritical accelerator-driven system.
The JSC Atomenergoprom and Toshiba Corporation have agreed to carry out joint activities on the market of nuclear fuel cycle products and services
