More than 200 scientists of 17 countries are participating in the 2nd Nuclear Science and Technology International Scientific Forum underway at the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Almaty.
As part of the forum, which will last through June 27, there will be the Twelfth Nuclear and Radiation Physics International Conference, the First International Academic workshop on Nuclear and Radiation Technologies in Medicine, Industry, and Agriculture, as well as the Tenth IAEA Workshop on Asian Nuclear Reaction Database Development.
Nuclear science is very interesting. We study many processes that are going on in the entire Universe and stars. However, for the country could benefit from nuclear scientists, we begin to strongly develop this area, that is, the use of nuclear-physics methods and technologies for the national economy, including medicine and industry. We have a lot of physicians who have been involved in the field of nuclear medicine, industrialists, whom we supply with isotopes for the petroleum or other chemical industries," said Yergazy Kenzhin, Director General of the Institute of Nuclear Physics.
According to him, nuclear and radiation technologies in medicine and industry have been developed at this institute for many years. The commissioning of facilities for the Center for Nuclear Medicine and Biophysics began in 2017. It consists of a specialized building for the production of radiopharmaceuticals and a building for radiation sterilization. At the premises of this center, all conditions have been created for the production of a wide range of radiopharmaceuticals, not only for diagnostics but also for radionuclide therapy to treat various diseases.
