On 19th June during International Forum Atomexpo-2017 in Moscow, Joint Stock Company Atomstroyexport and the Ministry of Higher Education of the Republic of Zambia signed the contract for preliminary surveying of the site for the Nuclear Science and Technologies Centre in the Republic of Zambia. The Nuclear Science and Technologies Centre will provide an opportunity to Zambia to start developing nuclear technologies and practicing the nuclear technologies in the fields of science, medical industry, geology, agriculture and other fields. The Centre will be fitted with the state-of-the-art equipment to be used for investigations within the framework of the Zambia's National Nuclear Programme; it will facilitate the growth of educational and scientific level in the country. The preliminary engineering surveys are comprehensive studying of natural conditions and made-induced factors on the site for the future Centre. Surveys are required to obtain initial data for designing and construction of the Centre. Signing of the preliminary engineering surveys contract will allow early start of field activities on the site for issuing the grounds of its fitness for construction. The President of the ASE Group of Companies Valery Limarenko announced: "Today we signed the package of documents, laying the foundations for the practical Russian-Zambian cooperation in development of nuclear infrastructure and construction of the Nuclear Science and Technologies Centre in Zambia. The ASE Group of Companies is ready to cooperate with Zambia openly and efficiently to give stride for further development of nuclear technology in the country". References: On 31st of May 2016 the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Republic of Zambia signed the Agreement for cooperation in the field of peaceful application of atomic energy. This document created legal platform for interaction between Russian and Zambia in the nuclear industry and declared a wide spectrum of cooperation trends. On 7th of December 2016 the Memoranda were signed on cooperation in education and training of specialists in nuclear power industry; upgrading admissibility of nuclear industry among the public in the Republic of Zambia; in the realm of regulation of nuclear and radiation safety, on peaceful application of atomic energy; and Agreement on development of the Nuclear Science and Technologies Centre Construction Project in the Republic of Zambia. On 16th of February 2017 the Agreement was signed between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Republic of Zambia on cooperation for construction of the Nuclear Science and Technologies Centre in the Republic of Zambia. The Agreement encompasses construction of the Centre, using multifunctional water-cooled water-moderated research reactor up to 10 MW in power, equipped with laboratories and functional complexes for performance of the whole spectrum of scientific researches. The Centre will allow researching in the fields of radiation biology, organising production of isotopes for wide use in diagnoses and treatment of cancerous diseases. Information ASE Group of Companies was established in the frame of formation of the Engineering Division of Rosatom State Corporation by consolidation of leading companies of the Industry: JSC ASE EC, JSC Atomstroyexport, JSC Atomenergoproekt, and JSC ATOMPROEKT. ASE Group of Companies is one of the leaders in the worldwide nuclear engineering business, occupying more than 30% of the global NPP construction market. Representation offices and front offices of the ASE Group of Companies are operating in 15 countries of the world; almost 80% of portfolio of orders is foreign projects. Besides, ASE construct the radiation waste treatment projects, spent nuclear fuel treatment projects, heat power industry projects, and render full spectrum of EPC services, EPC(M) services, and PMC services for any complicated engineering projects. The ASE Group of Companies develop and mainstream the innovational project management system for construction of the complicated engineering projects 'Multi-D', which allow efficient managing such parameters as budget, deadlines and quality.
