Experts, researchers, and lecturers from some of the UK’s leading atomic energy institutions shared their research and training experiences with Vietnamese scientists.

Participants assessed the reality of current human resource shortfalls in Vietnamese universities and proposed expanding cooperation with the UK to ensure Vietnam’s first nuclear power plants will have the human resources they demand.

Vietnam Agency for Radiation and Nuclear Safety Director General Professor Vuong Huu Tan and the British Embassy’s First Secretary Andrew Holt said the seminar offered both sides to clarify bilateral nuclear energy cooperation commitments and help UK experts learn more about Vietnam’s needs.

It also provided a forum for both sides to discuss future long-term cooperative programs.
