A RITVERC team member actively participated as an invited visitor in the Obninsk New 2024 International Youth Nuclear Forum, which took place in Obninsk from June 26 to 30, 2024. The event commemorated the opening of the world’s first nuclear power plant and the beginning of the peaceful atom age. It brought together 400 distinguished visitors and representatives from 80 nations.

The forum’s main theme was the New Atomic Dream, which outlined the next 70 years of nuclear energy development. It also examined worldwide possibilities for the development of the nuclear industry and related sciences, the establishment of a new staff training system, international interactions through graduates of ROSATOM’s flagship universities, and the general popularization of nuclear technology. There are currently active efforts in progress to establish Obninsk Tech, the International Research and Educational Center for Nuclear and Allied Technologies. Alexey Likhachev, CEO of Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation, feels that the nuclear business needs highly skilled professionals to advance.

During the forum, our employee attended plenary sessions, ROSATOM and Kurchatov Institute’s joint international youth conference, round tables with foreign guests, and the world’s first nuclear power plant. We constantly aim to follow and participate in key nuclear power industry events in order to deliver collaborative innovative and effective solutions.
