STATE ATOMIC ENERGY CORPORATION ROSATOM / PUBLIC REPORT / 288
Since 2020, the Public Council has acted as a public advisory board under the programme titled
'Development of Technical Capabilities, Technology and Scientific Research in the Use of Nuclear Energy in
the Russian Federation until 2024'; in addition, since 2022, it has acted as a public advisory board for the
following federal projects: 'Construction of New and Modernisation of Existing Power Units', 'Construction
of Nuclear Power Plants Abroad' and 'Establishment of the National Centre for Physics and Mathematics',
which are not included in national projects.
As part of virtual meetings, members of the Public Council led by ROSATOM's Director General performed
eight public reviews of various areas of the programme 'Development of Technical Capabilities, Technology
and Scientific Research in the Use of Nuclear Energy in the Russian Federation until 2024', as stipulated
by Decree No. 270 of the President of the Russian Federation dated 16 April 2020 on the Development
of Technical Capabilities, Technology and Scientific Research in the Use of Nuclear Energy in the Russian
Federation, as well as federal projects forming part of the programme and federal projects outside the
scope of the programme.
In 2022, ROSATOM's Public Council and the Russian Society of Nature Protection (VOOP) signed a
Memorandum of Cooperation in the Implementation of Projects and Environmental Initiatives.
A programme titled 'Russia's Unique Water Bodies' launched under the Memorandum in 2022 in 19
regions of Russia has become a successful joint project. Federal experts on ecology, representatives of
local environmental NGOs, regional and local governments, ROSATOM and its organisations participated
in holding technical tours, round-table discussions, excursions and environmental campaigns in
Novovoronezh, Ozersk, Polyarnye Zori, Sarov and Sosnovy Bor, with more than 1,500 people involved
in environmental activities, including students, employees of nuclear organisations and members of the
general public.
In 2022, there were five permanent commissions under the Public Council: the Healthcare Commission, the
Regional Development Commission, the Environmental Commission, the Commission on the Russian Arctic
and the Northern Sea Route, and the International Affairs Commission.
Healthcare Commission
The Healthcare Commission, its working groups and experts, with the active involvement of the Russian
Union of Patients' Public Societies and in cooperation with ROSATOM and the Federal Medical and
Biological Agency of Russia, manage initiatives to identify the most pressing issues of the healthcare
system in ROSATOM's host towns and cities and to find mechanisms for addressing them.
Between 2018 and 2022, the Commission implemented the Right to Health project supported by the
Presidential Grants Foundation and the Russian Union of Patients' Public Societies. The third stage of this
project was implemented in the Far North and the Arctic. One of the starting points of the project was
an expert opinion survey titled 'Problems of Interaction between Patients and the Healthcare System in
the Regions of the Far North and the Russian Arctic and Resources for Addressing Them'. It was aimed at
assessing the availability of medical care for the population of the northern regions, identifying problem
areas and opportunities to improve the quality of healthcare.
On 23 November 2022, a round-table discussion titled 'Development of Patient-Oriented Healthcare in
ROSATOM's Regions of Operation, including in the Far North and the Russian Arctic' was held at the venue
of the 13th National Congress of Patients 'Development Trajectory: Patient-Oriented Healthcare'.
