VAEI Director Vương Hữu Tấn said Việt Nam has seen significant progresses in the research, development and application of atomic energy since the eighth national conference two years ago.

He commented a number of projects, including the Ninh Thuận nuclear power project which was ratified by the National Assembly on October 25, 2009, a master plan on atomic energy application for peaceful purposes by 2020 and a master plan on the application of radiation in agriculture, industry and natural resources and environment.

Basically, a number of important legal documents giving guidelines for the development of the atomic energy sector has been issued over the past two years, he said, adding that such documents have created a firm foundation for ministries, branches, localities and enterprises to invest in atomic energy to serve socio-economic development./.
