International Exhibition and Conference
ATOMIC ENERGY & ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
October 4-6, 2005
Russia, Moscow, World Trade Centre

The first "ATOMIC ENERGY & ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING" International Exhibition and Conference, a key event for specialists in the area of nuclear power, was held in Moscow, World Trade Centre on October 4-6, 2005. The nuclear power industry is the most important and viable sector of Russia's economy on the global market. This industry has enormous economic potential. This year, the manufacturers of the industry had their own specialized exhibition in Moscow. The exhibit gained international status due to the number of participants from all over the world.

The "ATOMIC ENERGY & ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING" International Exhibition and Conference was organized by OOO INCONEX and supported by Federal Atomic Energy Agency ROSATOM, ROSENERGOATOM, Federal Department of Ecological, Technological and Nuclear Control, and RSNTTD.

" It is nice to note that it is this year that such an exhibition is organized for the first time, when Russian atomic industry celebrates its 60th anniversary, and Atomic Industry Workers Day is celebrated for the first time.
The rapid development of scientific and technological progress has urged the immediacy and singular importance of business cooperation of specialists. Developments of national science, and achievements of various Russian industrial enterprises presented today at the exhibition, are of great importance for the development of Russian atomic power engineering and industry."

"Modern development of atomic energy is undergoing an upsurge as new nuclear power units are built and launched, and the operating nuclear power plants are equipped with modern hi-tech equipment. This makes the new exhibition an important and promising event."

"In recent years, the nuclear power industry of Russia has demonstrated a stady development: the volume of energy produced has increased, new power blocks have been introduced, the life span of first-generation power blocks has been prolonged, and the number of violations in operating power blocks at nuclear power plants have decreased.
At the same time, the primary obligatory condition for the development of the nuclear power industry is ensuring safety, which greatly depends on the reliability of equipment, instruments, and materials used in power plants.
Developing the nuclear power industry and improving its safety determine the importance of the business cooperation of specialists, and the necessity of holding specialized international exhibitions and forums."

Participants of the opening ceremony of the "ATOMIC ENERGY & ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING " International Exhibition and Conference: Alexander Shmygin, Vice Head of the Department of the Nuclear Power Industry; Vladimir Klyuev, President of the Russian Society of Nondestructive Control and Technical Diagnostics and Vice President of the European Federation of Nondestructive Control; Nikolai Shingarev, Director of the Center of Information and Exhibition Activities of the Federal Atomic Energy Agency; Natalia Arkhipova, Director of OOO INCONEX Exhibition Company.

As a part of the competition program of the exhibition, the organizers awarded NPO Rady (Ukraine, Kirovograd) "For Active Participation in the Exhibition," SNIIP SISTEMATOM "For Active Participation in the Business Program," ASU Integratsiya "For An Outstanding Marketing Campaign." The awards ceremony took place during a cocktail party at the opening of the " ATOMIC ENERGY & ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING " Exhibition.

Participants about the exhibition:

"We have established contacts with representatives of the power plants to which we did not supply our equipment before, such as Busher Nuclear Power Plant, Iran.
The exhibition helps us see the main directions and trends in the nuclear power industry and establish business contacts with equipment manufacturers. Generally speaking, the organization of the exhibition deserves the highest praise."

"We have established contacts with representatives of Volgodonskaya, Balakovskaya, and Smolenskaya nuclear power plants and Belene Nuclear Power plant currently under construction in Bulgaria. We have agreed on the possibility of future cooperation and equipment supplies."

"Participating in the exhibition allowed us to establish new business contacts and to strengthen existing ones. Our corporation is interested in becoming a regular participant of the exhibition."

Guests about the exhibition:

"The meetings at the exhibition in Moscow answered many questions we had regarding the utilization of equipment. Also interesting were the new achievements in the area of modernizing equipment."
