The Fourth Meeting of the Forum for Nuclear Cooperation in Asia (FNCA)
was held in Nago City, Okinawa, Japan on December 2 and 3, 2003 under the
basic theme “ Nuclear Energy for the Future of Mankind and the Globe”
with the participation of Ministers and Senior Officials, responsible for
the peaceful nuclear research, development and utilization from nine Asian
countries. (List of Participants)
At the Round Table Discussion, the representatives of the FNCA countries
expressed their views and made comments on two topics, namely: “Enhancement
of Socio-Economic Impact of Radiation and Radioisotope Application” and
“Sustainable Development and Nuclear Energy”.
There was a general agreement among participants on the importance of applications
of radiation, radioisotopes and nuclear technology in the fields of health,
agriculture, industry and preservation of the environment, including water
and air quality. The proposal to create a new panel on “Role of Nuclear
Energy for Sustainable Development in Asia” was endorsed, and it is
hoped that the report can be submitted promptly. |
