Prime Minister Putin visited an expo in Dubna that featured equipment for plasmapheresis, plasma filtration and renal dialysis, jointly developed in Dubna by RUSNANO and Concor. The developers told the prime minister that in the first quarter of the year Russia exported ten times more of this type of equipment than it imported. Manufacturers also spoke about the need for state orders for their unique equipment and noted that thousands of lives could be saved annually once healthcare institutions all over the country are given access to this equipment.
The prime minister also saw an explosive and narcotics detector, another collaborative effort of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research and RUSNANO. The detector will be installed at 13 railway terminals in southern Russia; it has also been purchased for metro stations in St Petersburg.
The expo featured projects that employed nanotechnology in bridge construction. As an example, the prime minister was shown an image of an overpass bridge stretching across Moscow's Garden Ring near Vosstaniye Square. The prime minister was also shown equipment developed by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research and IBA that will be used at the Federal Medical Radiology Centre in Dimitrovgrad.
A separate expo area was dedicated to the international internet project for school students "Wealth of Knowledge." Under the project, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research and InterGraphica are working together to develop electronic materials for school children and teachers designed to supplement a variety of courses.
