– Technologies must be adjusted to new conditions

It’s not a secret that our nuclear power industry has very good projects and it’s time to put those projects into practice. This is not an easy job: we need to adjust them to new conditions, to make them attractive and competitive: this is a complicated process but we are learning.
  
Until now we have been kind of self-contained: we solved own problems only. But today we are facing different conditions: developing market relations, reduced budgetary financing. So, we need to start earning on our own and for this purpose we need to start selling the technologies we have.  

During the 1st forum International Science and Technology Center showed interest in our project and this time they considered the possibility of its financing. This forum has also helped us to win the inter-setoral contest of the Federal Agency for Science and Innovations and to get 100mln RUR for liquid and gas treatment system – this is already a good sum. But when we start mega-projects we will deal with billions.
