"Brazil is very actively cooperating with Rosatom on medical isotopes used in pharmaceutical preparations. We have established a large number of supplies, and this is the result that has already been released from the laboratory and turned into commercial implementation," Stepan Kalmykov said.

The creation of new medicines can also be called a promising area that is actively developing. According to the academician, another area is megascience installations, in particular synchrotrons.
