uses of nuclear technology.
The agreement, which is based on
friendly relations between the two countries, aims to explore the full
potential of deepening mutually beneficial cooperation in the sphere of innovation
and technological development related to peaceful uses of nuclear.
The
main area of cooperation identified is that of nuclear medicine and
particularly the treatment of cancer in Africa and abroad.
Rusatom Healthcare and Necsa will partner on the construction of two innovative solution reactors
in South Africa.

relatively inexpensive reactors that are designed specifically for the cost
effective production of nuclear medicine products.
The parties also plan to build a commercial
cyclotron in South Africa to further increase the production
capacity of nuclear medicine in the region.
