(Tbilisi, July 17, 2003, Civil Georgia) – The delegation of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which arrived in Tbilisi on July 16, is holding talks with the representatives of the Radioactive Safety Service of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources of Georgia.
It is anticipated that the sides will sign an agreement, implying funding of one of the projects, due to which Georgia will be able to reveal radioactive sources in mountainous regions of Georgia.
The project is supposed to be implemented in the Pankisi gorge as well, however the Radioactive Safety Service does not comment on this issue so far.
The members of the delegation will also discuss the issue of supplying the Oncology Hospital in Tbilisi with special equipment to help irradiated people undergo treatment.
