Explanatory Note

During the period since 1992 year National Nuclear Center of Republic of Kazakhstan on behalf of the higher organs prepared and held the following international scientific-technical conferences (seminars), where the different problems, regarding the use of the nuclear energy and nuclear technologies, were considered:

• 1992 year, "Nuclear energy in the space. Nuclear rocket engines. NRE-92", Kurchatov;
• 1993 year, "Nuclear energy in the Republic of Kazakhstan: conception of the development, validity, safety. NE-93", Kurchatov,
• 1995 year, "20 years since the energy start-up of IVG.1 reactor», Kurchatov;
• 1996 year, "Nuclear energy in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Prospects of the development. NE-96", Aktau;
• 1997 year, "International conference on the non-proliferation problems", Almaty-Kurchatov;
• 1998 year, "Impulse research reactors. Application, experimental researches and results", Kurchatov;
• 1998 year, "Second international conference on the non-proliferation problems", Kurchatov;
• 2000 year, "Nuclear Energy Technologies. NET-2000", Astana;
• 2001 year, "XXI century – towards the world, free of the nuclear weapon", Almaty-Kurchatov;
• 2002 year, "Atomic science, radioecology and mode of the non-proliferation in Kazakhstan", Kurchatov;
• 2003 year, "Seminar on development of the Japan-Kazakhstan collaboration in the nuclear field";
• 2004 year, "Seminar on development of Japan-Kazakhstan collaboration in the sphere of the peaceful application of the atomic energy and nuclear technologies".

During that period many directions of the development of the nuclear energy and nuclear technologies, as applied to Kazakhstan were spoken in the future.

In the present time in the Republic the legal and normative base in the sphere of the application of the nuclear energy is created, the enterprises of the uranium industry succeed, the scientific researches are carried out on the research nuclear reactors and experimental facilities, such large scientific-technical projects as "Creation of disciplinary accelerating complex in Gumilev L.N’s Eurasian State University" in Astana, "Creation of Kazakhstan’s thermal-nuclear material testing reactor-tokamak КТМ" in Kurchatov, "Creation of the Nuclear Medicine Center" in the Alatau settlement are realized. According to the decision of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N. А. Nazarbayev the work on creating of the technopark "Center of Nuclear Technologies", where it is planned to place among other basic nuclear facilities the multi-purpose low-powered nuclear reactor, meant for producing the heat and electric energy, producing the isotopes, conducting the scientific researches, personnel training is started.

2005 year is the year of the some anniversaries, very significant for Kazakhstan’s nuclear activity:

• 40 years since the first industrial explosion "Chagan" in the gallery 1004 on Semipalatinsk Test Site (conducted in January,15 1965 year);
• 30 years since the energy start-up of the research nuclear reactor IVG.1, where the major scope of the testing works on the programs on creating of the nuclear rocket engines and space nuclear energy-propulsion facilities was carried out (conducted in March, 7^th, 1975 year);
• 10 years since the removal of the last experimental nuclear device in the gallery 108-К of Semipalatinsk Test Site (removed in May, 31^st, 1995 year);
• 10 years since the Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan on October,18^th 1995 year N 1344 "On development of the Atomic Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan";
• 10 years since the start of the collaboration of NNC RK with Japanese organizations in the sphere of the substantiation of the nuclear reactors safety (COTELS project is «started» in January, 2d, 1995 year).

Owing to the mentioned above, it is advisable to conduct the international scientific-technical conference "Nuclear Energy in the Republic of Kazakhstan. NE-2005" in Kurchatov next year (2005). During the conference it is planned to review the nuclear activity in Kazakhstan for the last 10 years and discuss the possibilities and prospects of the future collaboration in the created scientific-technological centers with the representatives of the world scientific society, working in the sphere of the peaceful application of the nuclear energy.
