⚛️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮’𝘀 𝗻𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆? At the 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺–𝗘𝗨 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽, took place today March the 7th 2026, organized by the 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗴𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝘂𝘅𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗴 (𝗩𝗶𝗟𝗮𝗕) with the support of the 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗴𝗶𝘂𝗺 & 𝗟𝘂𝘅𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗴, and 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘂𝘅 (𝗩𝗕𝗔𝗕), an important discussion took place on the future of nuclear technologies for Vietnam. 🇻🇳🇪🇺 During the 𝗡𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 & 𝗡𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 session, 𝗠𝗿. 𝗕𝗨𝗜 𝗡𝗴𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗮𝗻𝗴 — Project Manager at EDF Energy (UK) and Chair of VietNuc - Vietnam Nuclear Professional Network - shared insights from his talk: 📊 “𝗡𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮 – 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺’𝘀 𝗡𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲.” 💡 One key idea stood out: a nuclear programme is not only about technology. It is about 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, standardisation, 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲. Looking at China’s experience, several important lessons emerged for countries considering nuclear energy: 🔹 Consistency in national policy over decades 🔹 An efficient licensing framework 🔹 International partnerships and technology transfer 🔹 Standardized reactor designs to improve efficiency 🔹 Development of local industrial capabilities through collaboration 🔹 Continuous investment in education and training for the next generation of nuclear professionals China’s experience shows that building nuclear capacity means building an entire ecosystem — from policy and regulation to industry and education. The session also brought together experts from Europe and Vietnam to discuss both nuclear energy and nuclear medicine, including perspectives on medical isotope supply chains. The exchanges continued during an engaging panel discussion. For VietNuc, these moments of dialogue are valuable opportunities to connect Vietnamese experts worldwide and contribute to thoughtful discussions on the future of nuclear science and technology in Vietnam. #VietNuc #ViLaB #Vietnam #NuclearEnergy #NuclearMedicine #EnergyTransition #NuclearScience
