Rosatom may establish a nuclear medicine centre in Belarus. The corporation also plans to supply energy storage systems to BelAZ and MAZ. Rosatom CEO Alexei Likhachev, who met with Belarusian Prime Minister Aliaksandr Turchyn today, announced the plans.
According to Likhachev, negotiations on establishing the nuclear medicine centre are in their final stages. The project involves more than just supplying radioisotopes or radiopharmaceuticals: it envisages creating an entire cluster. Likhachev believes it “will take the fight against cancer, as well as the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and neurological diseases, to a new level”.
Another area of cooperation is electric transport.
“Today, we confirmed agreements not only on supplying energy storage systems to BelAZ and MAZ for new product lines at these vehicle manufacturers, but also on more in-depth developments that we will carry out with the involvement of Russian businesses, including Norilsk Nickel. We have ambitious plans for electric mobility and major plans for energy storage systems,” he added.
The talks today also addressed the construction of the third unit of the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant (BelNPP).
