moscow, in the shchukino district, laboratory number two was created under the leadership of igor kurchatovter it would become the kurchatov institute. the ussr atomic project began with... two bombs are dropped on the japanese cities of herashima and nagasaki, killing more than 100 thousand people. against the backdrop of this tragedy, moscow learns about the pentagon’s plans to use similar weapons against the soviet union. speedy developing your own nuclear safety shield becomes a matter of life. the first soviet atomic charge was tested in august 1949... which was created by the team of yuli borisovich khariton in kb-11, here you can see it in full size, and an interesting detail, here are the blue fuses, there are 32 of them, the most the difficult part in creating the charge was to calculate so that these 32 fuses would fire at the same time, lighting the lenses. from explosives, different layers of explosives were used, fast and slow, they should were to work with precision down to the smallest fractions of a second. relations between the former allies of the ussr and the usa are rapi

, now this is the shchukin district, laboratory number two is created under the leadership of igor kurchatovr it will become kurchatov institute. the ussr atomic project began with a dozen young physicists and a couple of canvas tents for experiments. it had to be developed in an atmosphere of strict secrecy. design and production technology of the soviet bomb, of course, work was carried out not only on the basis of laboratory number two, but also on a number of other domestic enterprises, the main ones are presented on the historical floor of the atom pavilion, they are accessible by a common factory entrance, this is the hall that we have of the three sections, this is the section dedicated to the laboratory. number two, and a section dedicated to the radium institute and a section dedicated to the 817 plant , well known to many as the mayak plant , the first nuclear reactor on our continent, f1, greets us at the entrance; in august 1945 , american bombers dropped two bombs on the japanese cities of herashima and nagasaki, killing more than 100,000 people . against the backdrop of this tr

anniversary of the birth the exhibition is dedicated to the eightieth anniversary of academicians igor kurchatov these are our founding fathers. at these laboratories, the first and second, but in parallel , the construction of factories is essentially being carried out, there is also chelyabinsk 40, then arzamas, weapons- grade plutonium is being produced, essentially atomic bombs are being created, by the year forty-nine we had all this together, a lot of attention is being paid to the site devoted to the development of domestic peaceful atom, nuclear fleet, power plants, exposition... tells about the work of the kurchatov institute in the 20th century. today , with a full understanding of the state of science, the new institute is responding to new challenges. as you and i understand, they want to destroy us, not with the help of nuclear weapons, with the help of biological weapons, much more anthropomorphically, as they say today, and we are ready to accept this challenge, we accepted it and respond to it with dignity, ensuring sovereignty forward to many years. during the opening ceremony.

soviet nuclear weapons, he is not as well known as the head of the entire atomic project, igor kurchatovnderstandable, khariton was kept as secret as possible, but among those who knew him, there was the following joke: to overthink oppenheimer, how did it happen that a man with not the most a reliable biography by soviet standards entrusted with such an important mission, and that julius khariton wrote about nuclear weapons in his last message to the world, an explosive person . i didn't pay any attention at all. yul boris in this carriage continuously shuttled between sarov, moscow, the urals and the semipalatinsk training ground. kurchatov, declassified under khrushchev, was known to the entire planet. chriton remained in the shadows. only rare amateur footage has survived from that period. yuliy borisovich on vacation. he himself was a passionate cinematographer and amateur photographer. for his eyes only the closest friends called yu respectfully. they could call him the way it was customary for him and his wife, they called each other very nicely, he called her musenka, she called

council of ministers of the republic of belarus in march 58. in connection with the appeal of igor vasilievich kurchatov of the minister of the ussr on the creation of scientific nuclear centers throughout the soviet union. 11 such centers were created in the country, including in belarus. the tasks before them were set to the broadest. the komsomol organization - 400 people, it was the era of nuclear romanticism, and people worked tirelessly, they created all this in just a few years. why nuclear energy? a nuclear reactor, unlike other sources, not only produces energy, but produces it. it was then that the institute of nuclear energy the belarusian academy of sciences pine trees and was specially created to develop such a station, which went down in history as the pamirs. it should have small, non-dimensional characteristics; preference was given to this project. the project was extremely complex, the nuclear mobile station was fundamentally different from the stationary ones. installation peace, a nuclear power reactor was created for the needs of the defense department of the soviet union, so that m

in connection with the appeal of igor vasilyevich kurchatov to the central committee of the cpsu ands of the ussr on the creation of scientific nuclear centers throughout the soviet union. there were such centers in the country created 11, including. the republic of belarus did not have fuel resources, so the first meetings that took place in the central committee of the communist party of belarus were arranged by andrei kapitonovich. that we must use our scientific potential to create, so to speak, nuclear energy in the republic of belarus to provide the national economy with energy. the tasks are complex, the direction is new, the deadlines are tight. the country needed fundamentally new scientific developments. you loaded a kilogram, but you can take out more kilograms, and there is enough energy cheap compared to those using carbon fuel. there was another very important task: the creation of compact reactors, as well as a mobile nuclear power plant. it was then that the institute of nuclear energy. belarusian nuclear power plant. unfortunately, the accident at the chernobyl nucle
