It is in this dynamic environment, therefore, that we are proudly hosting the URAM 2009 Symposium together with our three cooperating agencies: the Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Nuclear Energy Institute and the World Nuclear Association. All of these organisations have been associated with our previous symposia in 2000 and 2005. I thank them on your behalf for their ongoing interest and association with this event. The objective of the IAEA's programme on nuclear power and related nuclear fuel cycle activities is to promote the development of nuclear power and fuel cycle technologies that are economically viable, safe, environmentally friendly, proliferation-resistant and sustainable. Natural uranium is one of the basic raw materials for nuclear fuel. And so with this in mind, we have come together here to participate in the 2009 International Symposium on Uranium Raw Material for the Nuclear Fuel Cycle, URAM-2009.
