IV. SUMMARY

Highly industrialized and developed countries like the U.S. reaped the benefits of fast industrialization and cultural growth which were far of most of the world. However, this fast growth led to environment-related problems. Not surprisingly, the U.S. has also become a leader in the science of environment protection and waste management. For this reason, the efforts of US-AEP to globalize the environmental protection science and technology developed in the U.S. should be appreciated.

During this visit to the U.S., Dr. Sriram and NUCHEM have gained a substantive understanding of new technologies for water and waste management, treatment, and remediation. Dr. Sriram strongly believes that possible cooperation between NUCHEM and some of the companies he visited will take shape in the near future. NUCHEM may seek further help from US-AEP and WEC in the event that such discussions are needed. NUCHEM's in-road into the environmental field that began a few years ago has been strengthened, and the company purposes to go ahead in put forth great efforts in the area of environmental science and technology.
