TAEDA Foundation for the integration, development and equality inaugurated a series of conferences under the theme \u201cStrategic value of natural resources\u201d, focused on Nuclear Energy and related subjects.<\/p>\n
Speakers at the meeting were Mrs. Maricruz Caruso, winner of a contest on the environmental impact of Nuclear Plants, and Mr. Rafael Grossi, Deputy Director General of the IAEA. On his part, Mr. Horacio Osuna, President of INVAP Board of Directors, acted as commentator, reflecting upon certain parts of both panelists\u2019 speeches.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n When presenting the first guidelines of her thesis on technological safety in the Nuclear Area, Maricruz Caruso stated that the environmental impact monitoring during operation of Nuclear Reactors in Argentina is adequate and that radiation protection levels for the population is within acceptable limits.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n On his turn, Mr. Grossi \u2013 specially invited for the occasion \u2013 offered a status report of the international nuclear agenda. The Deputy Director General of the International Agency that watches over the cooperation between countries on this matter, spoke about the pacific use of science and nuclear technology, pointing out that Fukushima accident resulted in a \u201crearrangement of the charges in nuclear and energy policies\u201d and that, in that sense, the IAEA has been trying to \u201cstrengthen the nuclear safety standards worldwide.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n In sum, Mr. Grossi stated that \u201cnuclear activity – both currently and in the future – is essential for the development and safety of all peoples\u201d and that \u201cit is strategic for Argentina\u201d.

Besides, he stated that \u201caccess to technology and knowledge will reach all countries \u2013 sooner or later\u201d, such as it happened with the steel industry, symbol of industrial development some time ago. In this sense, INVAP Chairman emphasized the importance of the monitoring inspections carried out by the IAEA and the need to raise awareness in the international community of the importance of disarming as a way of reducing the risks.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> SOURCE
