Prospects of development of the world nuclear energy industry will be discussed during the eighth international forum Atomexpo that will take place in Moscow on 30 May – 1 June, BelTA learned from Svetlana Bendas, OOO Atomexpo Press Secretary.

The plenary session focusing on the effect of new players on the future of the nuclear energy industry will be one of the key events of the forum.
