Canada and Ukraine forge closer industry links
They have confirmed their intention to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding to "clarify the principles and directions" of future cooperation, Energoatom said. Cooperation includes areas such as the construction of new nuclear power units, hydrogen technologies, nuclear waste management, the production of medical isotopes and regulatory harmonisation.
They also plan to hold trade missions and seminars to exchange information on the latest global developments in nuclear energy, including small modular reactors.
"We hope the dialogue initiated this year will allow us to find practical common interests for closer cooperation between Energoatom and our Canadian partners,", Energoatom Acting President Petro Kotin said.
OCNI President Ron Oberth "introduced more than a dozen" Canadian companies interested in the cooperation, Energoatom said.
The virtual event was also attended by representatives of the Ukrainian and Canadian embassies as well as members of OCNI.
