Ulf Kutscher, CEO & COO, NUKEM Technologies GmbH:

The Atomexpo is a perfect occasion to meet the main players in the Russian nuclear industry and beyond, not only (potential) customers but also suppliers.

The mix of a conference dealing with current political topics and technical ones in combination with an industry exhibition gives an added value to the visitors.

Even with few countries like Germany abandoning nuclear power in the nearer or later future, I believe that most countries will include the lessons learned in their nuclear policy but still keep on this reliable and sustainable energy production.
