During the symposium, SNERDI introduced historical footprint of the institute, presented the achievements obtained through implementation of national science and technology major project, and shared experiences of nuclear facility decommissioning and waste management. The delegation also communicated and discussed topis on demolition of large components, decontamination of full system, clearance of waste and so on with well-known nuclear technology service providers such as NUKEM Technologies, STEAG and GNS.
