Rosatom - latest news. Rosatom (state corporation) Libraries of the cities where Rosatom enterprises are located took part in the All-Russian campaign "Running Book"

The State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom was established on December 18, 2007. Its creation was preceded by the adoption of the federal law "On the State Atomic Energy Corporation "Rosatom", which came into force on December 5, 2007.

The state sets 3 main tasks for Rosatom State Corporation:

• ensuring the sustainable development of the nuclear weapons complex;
• increasing the share of nuclear energy in the country's energy balance (target: 25-30% by 2030) while improving the safety level of the industry;
• expansion of the traditional niches of the Russian presence in the world market of nuclear technologies, as well as the conquest of new ones.

Industry structure

Nuclear Power Complex

One of the main goals of the State Corporation "Rosatom" is the sustainable supply of electricity to industry and the population of Russia while progressively increasing the share of electricity generated at nuclear power plants.

State Corporation "Rosatom" today is 17.82% of electricity production in Russia (according to the IAEA).

Rosatom State Corporation is one of the few world-class companies with all nuclear technologies. One of the significant components of the State Corporation "Rosatom" is OJSC "Atomenergoprom" (full name - Open Joint Stock Company "Nuclear Power Industry Complex"), which united all civilian assets of the nuclear industry. 100% of the shares of the nuclear holding belong to the State Corporation Rosatom. In addition, the nuclear energy complex of the State Corporation Rosatom includes the engineering company Atomstroyexport and the national electricity export-import operator Inter RAO UES .

OJSC Atomenergoprom

In December 2008, a special Management Company JSC “United Company Separation and Sublimation Complex” was formed as part of Atomenergoprom, uniting all four enterprises together. The company manages the production of enriched uranium, including the processing of customer-supplied raw materials from other countries, the enrichment of waste dumps accumulated over the years of previous operations, and also supervises work under the Russian-American HEU-LEU agreement.

In 2007, on the basis of the Angarsk electrolysis plant, two more companies were founded - OJSC International Uranium Enrichment Center (ICUE), as well as the Russian-Kazakh joint venture CJSC Center for Uranium Enrichment (CEC).

The IUEC is a large-scale international initiative of Russia, carried out under the auspices of the IAEA. The IUEC was conceived as a mechanism for guaranteed access to low-enriched uranium for non-nuclear countries (for its implementation, it is planned to create a guaranteed stock of 120 tons of low-enriched uranium). For such countries, the IUEC is a kind of “insurance” and a guarantee that a country, for some reason deprived of the opportunity to buy uranium on the free market, will be able at any time to provide itself with the necessary amount of low-enriched uranium and make fresh nuclear fuel from it in order to its nuclear power plants continued to operate steadily. At the same time, the international community receives assurances that uranium enrichment technology cannot be used for non-peaceful purposes.

The great international significance of this project determined the complex multi-level structure of the IUEC. Firstly, the accession of any country to the IUEC project is carried out only by concluding an intergovernmental agreement with this country. The first country to decide to participate in this project was Kazakhstan, which signed an agreement with the Russian government in 2007. The decision on the country's entry into the IUEC must be approved by all project participants.

At the second stage of joining the IUEC project, the country appoints an authorized company, which on its behalf buys out and subsequently owns a certain block of shares in the IUEC OJSC. To date, 90% of the IUEC shares are owned by JSC Techsnabexport, 10% of the shares are owned by Kazatomprom (Kazakhstan). It is planned to transfer a block of shares from OAO Techsnabexport to the State Corporation Rosatom. In the future, the Russian share in the IUEC capital will decrease due to the accession of other countries to the project.

In the near future, the IUEC project will include Armenia and Ukraine, which have already signed the relevant intergovernmental documents. Negotiations on participation in the IUEC are underway with Finland, South Korea and Belgium.

The Russian-Kazakh project "Center for Uranium Enrichment" (CUE), unlike the IUEC, is purely commercial in nature - the enterprise was created to build new uranium enrichment facilities, which will be located at the production site of the Angarsk electrolysis plant. CJSC Uranium Enrichment Center was registered in 2007. 50% of the capital of the TsOU belongs to Techsnabexport OJSC, 50% - to the Kazakh company Kazatomprom.

The company plans to build a production facility with a capacity of 5 million SWU (work units of the uranium enrichment division). The company expects to receive the first million SWU in 2011.

Division for trade in uranium enrichment services, enriched uranium and isotope products

The company gained particular fame in 1993, after the conclusion of the Russian-American intergovernmental HEU-LEU agreement (the “Megatons to Megawatts” agreement on the conversion of highly enriched uranium (HEU) extracted from Soviet nuclear missiles into low-enriched uranium (LEU), used as fresh nuclear fuel for American nuclear power plants). Since 1993, one in ten light bulbs in the US has been lit with fuel derived from Russian weapons-grade uranium. Over 15 years of implementation of the agreement, more than 350 of the 500 metric tons of uranium have been diluted, which will have to be processed before 2013 (the expiration date of the HEU-LEU agreement). This is equivalent to 14,000 nuclear warheads, through the destruction of which American nuclear power plants received 10,200 tons of low-enriched uranium, which was used to make nuclear fuel. Over the past 15 years, more than $7.6 billion has been transferred to the federal budget from this contract.

Today, Techsnabexport is consistently expanding its presence in the market of low-enriched uranium and uranium products. Thus, in the French market - the leader of the European Union in terms of the scale of development of nuclear energy - the company's share reached 30% and 40% - in the African market (South Africa). Thanks to Techsnabexport, uranium products from Russia have become available on the Latin American market (deliveries are made to Brazil and Mexico), and they are well known in Japan and South Korea, where representative offices are opened. Direct contracts for the supply of uranium products to US energy companies have been signed, which will be implemented after the expiration of the HEU-LEU agreement.

Techsnabexport's annual exports exceed $2.5 billion and today account for three-quarters of Russia's nuclear technology exports.

The export of isotopes is carried out by OAO Izotop.

Division for the production of equipment for uranium enrichment

As an independent structure within the State Corporation Rosatom, the division for the production of equipment for uranium enrichment and the development of new models of gas centrifuges was born in 2008 - this year the management company JSC Russian Gas Centrifuge was established. 100% of the company's shares belong to its founder - OAO Techsnabexport.

The control loop of the Russian Gas Centrifuge includes the oldest machine-building enterprises of the domestic nuclear industry: JSC Vladimir Production Association Tochmash (the plant was founded in 1933) and JSC Kovrov Mechanical Plant (founded in 1950), as well as LLC Uralpribor ” and LLC Ural Gas Centrifuge Plant (UZGC) and three design bureaus: CJSC OKB-N. Novgorod”, OOO Novouralsk Research and Design Center (NNCC), CJSC Centrotech-SPb, related to the development of gas centrifuges and auxiliary equipment for uranium enrichment. At the moment, OJSC Engineering Center Russian Gas Centrifuge owns shares of OJSC Kovrov Mechanical Plant (75.11%) and LLC Russian Gas Centrifuge (99.03%).

The enterprises of the Russian Gas Centrifuge are extremely versatile: they produce not only gas centrifuges themselves and other equipment for isotope separation, but also shut-off valves for general industrial purposes, valves for nuclear power plants, automotive electrical equipment, water, gas and heat meters, machine tools and equipment, printing boards, solar technology. One of the activities of the Russian Gas Centrifuge is also the supply of metalworking, measuring and special equipment.

In 2008, another management company was also established - OJSC Scientific and Production Complex Khimpromengineering. This company merged two of its subsidiaries: Argon LLC (Balakovo, Saratov Region, 66% of the share in the authorized capital) and Plant of Carbon and Composite Materials LLC (Chelyabinsk, 99% of the shares). Both produce carbon fibers and composite materials that are used in batch production of separating centrifuges, as well as in the aerospace, shipbuilding, construction and other industries. OAO NPK Khimpromengineering also owns shares of OOO SNV (99.9%) and ZAO Technological Center TENEX (99%).

In January 2009, both companies carried out an additional issue of shares in favor of the parent company Techsnabexport.

As a result of the additional issue of shares, Russian Gas Centrifuge] will become the owner of 49.9% of the capital in CJSC Centrotech-SPb and CJSC OKB-N.Novgorod, as well as 50% of the authorized capital in LLC Novouralsk Scientific and Design Center and in Uralpribor LLC, since the shares of the capital of these enterprises will pay for the additional issue of the Russian Gas Centrifuge. In addition, as payment for the additional issue of shares in Russian Gas Centrifuge, shares in centrifuge factories will be transferred: 75.1% of the shares of Kovrov Mechanical Plant and 50% of the capital of LLC Ural Gas Centrifuge Plant.

The additional issue of Khimpromengineering is also aimed at forming a full-fledged company for the production of carbon fiber: it will be paid for by the shares of carbon fiber manufacturers (Argon LLC and Plant of Carbon and Composite Materials LLC (ZUKM); as well as the manufacturer of polyacrylonitrile fibers - LLC SNV ", and shares of TENEX Technology Center CJSC (99%) for a total amount of more than 4.2 billion rubles.

Mechanical engineering division

The Mechanical Engineering Division is one of the youngest and most actively developing divisions of Atomenergoprom. The core of the division is the holding company OJSC Atomenergomash, established in 2006. Atomenergoprom owns 63.58% of the company's shares.

Atomenergomash began its history with the acquisition of a traditional power engineering enterprise - the company included a domestic monopolist for the production of steam generators and heat exchangers for power plants: this is the ZiO-Podolsk Machine-Building Plant OJSC and the Ziomar engineering company. In 2007, the company replenished its assets with a joint venture for the production of low-speed turbines, created with one of the world leaders in the field of power engineering - the French company Alstom - Alstom Atomenergomash LLC (50% plus 1 share in the capital of this company is owned by OJSC ZiO -Podolsk", on whose production base the joint venture is located). In 2008, in order to streamline the management of these assets, the Russian Energy Machine Building Company CJSC (REMCO) was established as part of Atomenergomash, in which Atomenergomash owns 50% plus 1 share.

In addition, Atomenergomash is setting up a division for the production of pipelines and pipeline fittings on the basis of its subsidiary LLC Stalenergoproekt. The first Russian asset of the new division was CJSC Atomtruboprovodmontazh, which combines enterprises in the Orenburg and Tver regions for the production of fittings (bends, tees, transitions) and pipeline blocks for high and low pressure nuclear power plants. Through its subsidiary, Atomenergomash controls 51% of the capital of CJSC. The Atomenergomash holding also included a manufacturer of water shut-off valves - the Czech company Arako spol s.r.o. (100% of the company's capital belongs to a subsidiary of Atomenergomash - OJSC Intelenergomash) and the Hungarian plant Ganz Energetika Kft., which specializes in the development and production of hydraulic equipment (pumps, hydroturbines) and fuel refueling equipment (51% of the shares are owned by a subsidiary company of Atomenergomash - CJSC "Transport and technological engineering").

Atomenergomash also includes a research and development segment - OAO Sverdlovsk Research Institute of Chemical Engineering (SverdNIIKhimmash). SverdNIIKhimmash is the largest manufacturer of equipment for the processing of radioactive and other types of waste, equipment for desalination of sea and desalination of mineralized waters, and wastewater treatment.

The holding controls 51% of the authorized capital of SverdNIIKhimmash.

In addition to Atomenergomash, the machine-building assets of Atomenergoprom are also represented by OJSC Kaluga Turbine Plant (Atomenergoprom owns 25.1% of the shares). Kaluga Turbine Works manufactures medium and small power steam and gas turbines.

Division for the production of nuclear fuel

TVEL is the exclusive supplier of nuclear fuel to all Russian nuclear power plants, as well as to all transport, industrial and research reactors in our country. At the same time, TVEL's products are also widely known abroad - fuel from a Russian manufacturer is supplied to 76 nuclear reactors in 14 countries of the world, the geography of which is constantly expanding. Thus, TVEL is the only supplier of fresh nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants in Bulgaria, Hungary, Ukraine and Slovakia, and also supplies it to all European countries where nuclear power plants operating on Russian-design reactors were built. Today, TVEL enters the world market with a new type of fuel assemblies designed to service Western-designed nuclear power plants. The company's annual export volume exceeds $1 billion.

In addition to finished fuel assemblies, TVEL also exports nuclear fuel components - for example, fuel pellets. In addition, TVEL is working on the creation of a fundamentally new type of mixed uranium-plutonium fuel (the so-called "MOX fuel"), which would significantly simplify the problem of providing the nuclear industry with raw materials and would significantly reduce the amount of waste in the nuclear industry.

Division for the production of electricity at nuclear power plants

To date, our country has 10 nuclear power plants (a total of 31 power units with an installed capacity of 23.2 GW), which generate about 16% of all electricity produced. At the same time, in the European part of Russia, the share of nuclear energy reaches 30%, and in the North-West - 37%. The operator of Russian nuclear power plants - Rosenergoatom Concern OJSC (part of Atomenergoprom OJSC controlled by Rosatom State Corporation) - is the second energy company in Europe in terms of nuclear generation, second only to the French EDF, and the first in terms of domestic generation.

Russian nuclear power plants make a significant contribution to the fight against global warming. Thanks to their work, 210 million tons of carbon dioxide are annually prevented from being released into the atmosphere. In total, the global nuclear power industry prevents the formation of 3.4 billion tons of CO2: about 900 million tons in the United States, 1.2 billion tons in Europe, 440 million tons in Japan, 90 million tons in China.

The priority of NPP operation is safety. Since 2004, not a single serious safety violation has been recorded at Russian NPPs, classified according to the international INES scale above the zero (minimum) level. The number of unscheduled disconnections of nuclear power plants from the network and unscheduled shutdowns of reactors is steadily decreasing - according to this indicator, Rosenergoatom ranks second in the world, ahead of the USA, England, France and second only to Japan. The radiation background in the areas where the nuclear power plant is located does not exceed the established norms and corresponds to the natural values ​​typical for the respective areas.

An important task in the field of operation of Russian NPPs is to increase the installed capacity utilization factor (ICUF) of already operating plants. To solve the first task, Rosenergoatom Concern OJSC developed a special program for increasing the capacity factor, calculated up to 2015. As a result of its implementation, an effect equivalent to the commissioning of four new nuclear power units (equivalent to 4.5 GW of installed capacity) will be obtained. In 2006-2008, due to the fact that the capacity factor increased from 76% to 80.9%, a significant increase in output was ensured.

Organizationally, all NPPs are branches of Rosenergoatom Concern OJSC.

Operating NPPs

At different stages is the development of plans for the construction of the Nizhny Novgorod NPP (Navashinsky district, Nizhny Novgorod region, 2 VVER-1200 power units), Central NPP (Buisky district, Kostroma region), Seversk NPP (ZATO Seversk, Tomsk region, 2 VVER-1200 power units) .

If we talk about the status of "decommissioned", then at the moment only Obninsk NPP has it. This is the world's first nuclear power plant, which was launched in 1954 and stopped in 2002. Currently, a museum is being created on the basis of the station.

Division of design, engineering and construction of nuclear power plants

Historically, all three Atomenergoprojects have the same roots: they all grew out of one design bureau - the All-Union State Design Institute Teploelektroproekt, founded in 1924 in Moscow to implement the grandiose GOELRO plan. Initially, Teploelektroproekt built only hydroelectric power plants and thermal generation facilities throughout the Soviet Union: the design of nuclear power plants was separated into a separate project only in 1958, and Teploelektroproekt was approved by a special government decree as the general designer of nuclear power plants. In 1982, the Teploelektroproekt institute was transformed into the Atomteploelektroproekt institute, from which three Atomenergoprojects subsequently crystallized at once - the predecessors of the current three engineering companies.

All Atomenergoprojects are the general designers of nuclear power plants, carrying out a full range of design and survey work for the construction and modernization of nuclear power plants, including site selection for construction, development of design and working documentation, field supervision of the construction of a nuclear power plant and technical support for its operation, as well as organization construction and installation works, supplies of equipment and materials, commissioning and commissioning of nuclear power plants - that is, they are able to build nuclear power plants on a turnkey basis. 100% of the shares of each of the three Atomenergoprojects is owned by Atomenergoprom.

The Moscow Institute of JSC Atomenergoproekt is the direct successor of the legendary Teploelektroproekt. On his account: the launch in 1964 of the first power unit of the Novovoronezh NPP (at that time the most powerful nuclear power plant in the world), the construction of nuclear power plants using domestic technologies in Eastern Europe and, finally, the unique project for the construction of the Bushehr NPP in Iran - no one else in the world did not take on the integration of a “foreign” project (the Germans began to build nuclear power plants) into a domestic one and the combination of Western equipment with that used in Russian projects.

However, despite the inviolability of the genealogical roots, another institute was the first to design nuclear power plants in the country and in the world - the former Leningrad branch of the Energostroy State Trust, founded in 1929 and later transformed into the Leningrad branch of the All-Union State Design Institute "Teploelektroproekt" (LOTEP ). Now it is an engineering company JSC "St. Petersburg Research and Design Institute" Atomenergoproekt "(SpbAEP), which owns the laurels of the designer of the engine room of the world's first nuclear power plant in Obninsk, launched in 1954, as well as the glory of the developer of the project of the second industrial nuclear power plant - Beloyarsk NPP, commissioned in 1963. In total, over the 80 years of the institute's existence, 118 power plants were built on its projects in Russia and abroad, including 18 nuclear power plants. 100% of the company's shares are owned by Atomenergoprom.

The Gorky branch of the All-Union "Teploelektroproekt", organized in 1951, later joined the "atomic family": the institute began designing nuclear power plants in 1968. However, the first project - the construction of the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant - turned out to be a real scientific invention: for it, it was necessary to develop an earthquake-resistant reactor plant, which fully proved its safety. In the recent history, Nizhny Novgorod Engineering Company Atomenergoproekt JSC has also managed to distinguish itself - it was from the projects of Nizhny Novgorod Atomenergoproekt that the revival of the domestic nuclear industry began. For the first time in post-Soviet history, the first unit of the Rostov NPP was put into operation in 2001 and the third unit of the Kalinin NPP in 2005.

Another honored member of the family of nuclear engineering companies is CJSC Atomstroyexport, an operator for the construction of nuclear power plants using Russian technologies abroad. The company was founded in 1998 on the basis of two large foreign trade associations with many years of experience in building nuclear power plants abroad - VO Atomenergoexport and VPO Zarubezhatomenergostroy.

Now CJSC Atomstroyksport is one of the world leaders in terms of the number of power units built abroad (currently the company is building two power units in India, two in Bulgaria and one in Iran). In general, Atomstroyexport currently controls 16% of the world market for NPP construction services. For the first time in post-Soviet history, in 2007 Atomstroyexport fulfilled a foreign order - two units of the Tianwan NPP were put into operation, which immediately became the most powerful nuclear power plant in China. Now new contracts are being worked out for the construction of Russian power units in China, India and Slovakia. In addition, Atomstroyexport plans to participate in tenders for the construction of nuclear power plants in Turkey, Jordan, Ukraine and Morocco.

The State Corporation Rosatom owns 78.54% of the shares of CJSC Atomstroyexport. Another 9.43% and 1.33% of the company's shares are owned by structures controlled by Rosatom: JSC Zarubezhenergostroy and JSC TVEL, respectively.

Research and development work

Research organizations that are part of JSC Atomenergoprom carry out a wide range of applied research and design and survey work in various fields, including the creation of structural materials, technologies, equipment for nuclear power and other industries (metallurgy, mining, chemical and oil and gas industry, medicine and agriculture). In particular, the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Inorganic Materials named after academician A. A. Bochvar (VNIINM) performs a significant amount of research in the field of creating fissile and structural materials and technologies for the production of products operating under extreme conditions in various fields of technology. In addition, JSC "VNIINM" is entrusted with the functions of the Central Head Organization of the Metrological Service of the State Corporation "Rosatom" (TsGOMS). The All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Chemical Technology (VNIIKhT) carries out a full cycle of research and development work in the field of technologies for producing uranium and nuclear-pure metals, processing uranium and rare metal ores. The All-Russian Research and Design Institute of Nuclear Power Engineering (VNIIAM) specializes in the creation of equipment for thermal and nuclear power plants, chemical engineering, and the construction industry. The State Scientific Center - Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (SSC RIAR) conducts comprehensive research in the field of reactor materials science and methods for testing materials and elements of nuclear power plants, studying the physical and technical problems of nuclear reactors and safety issues, developing advanced technologies for the fuel cycle of nuclear reactors.

Division for the management of foreign energy assets, assets in thermal generation and export-import of electricity

The nuclear weapons complex functions stably: the State Armaments Program for 2007-2015 has been adopted, the federal target program "Development of the Nuclear Weapons Complex for 2007-2010 and for the period up to 2015" is being implemented, and the state defense order is formed annually.

The nuclear weapons complex is the ancestor of the domestic nuclear power industry, since it was during the experiments to create an atomic bomb that scientists proposed the peaceful use of energy to generate electricity. And today, the nuclear weapons complex is one of the main sources of innovation for the civilian part of the industry. Civilian products of the enterprises of the complex are in high demand, their main consumers are the oil and gas, railway and automotive industries.

Nuclear and radiation safety

Ensuring nuclear and radiation safety is one of the main functions assigned by the state to Rosatom State Corporation.

The problem of ensuring nuclear and radiation safety can be conditionally divided into two parts. The first is to ensure the current trouble-free operation of nuclear power facilities and other potentially nuclear and radiation hazardous facilities. The achievement of this goal is facilitated by the licensing of all stages of design, construction and operation of such facilities, as well as the enterprises of Rosatom State Corporation and third-party organizations involved in this. Licensing, as well as supervision of the current activities of design, construction and operating organizations, is carried out by an independent state body - the Federal Service for Environmental, Technological and Nuclear Supervision. In addition, nuclear fuel cycle organizations receive nuclear safety opinions and permits to commission nuclear hazardous facilities from Rosatom State Corporation.

A set of systemic measures makes it possible to achieve a high safety culture when working with nuclear materials and radioactive substances and good indicators of the safety level of industry facilities. Thus, over the past 5 years, not a single serious safety violation has been recorded at Russian NPPs, classified above the zero (minimum) level according to the international INES scale. According to the criterion of reliability of NPP operation, Russia has taken the second place in the world among the countries with developed nuclear power industry, leaving behind only Japan and ahead of such developed countries as the USA, England, Germany, France.

The second global problem of nuclear and radiation safety is the problem of the legacy of the "Soviet atomic project". In addition to significant financial costs, it will require from the State Corporation Rosatom new, often non-standard approaches to solving problems that have accumulated since Soviet times: new methods for the processing and storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and radioactive waste (RW), new methods for the rehabilitation of contaminated territories and so on. In order to solve these difficult problems, the Government of the Russian Federation approved back in 2007 the federal target program “Ensuring Nuclear and Radiation Safety for 2008 and for the period up to 2015” with a budget of 145.3 billion rubles, including 131.8 billion rubles from federal sources.

Now the State Corporation "Rosatom" finances priority measures in such areas as the disposal of nuclear submarines (NPS) that have exhausted their service life, as well as floating technical bases of the nuclear fleet and nuclear maintenance vessels, the reconstruction of "wet" and the construction of a new "dry" SNF storage at the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Mining and Chemical Combine" (Zheleznogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Territory), construction of a storage facility for solid radioactive waste in the Leningrad Region, as well as a complex for handling spent nuclear fuel in Andreeva Bay and a long-term storage facility for nuclear submarine reactor compartments in Saida Bay (Murmansk Region) , the conservation of Lake Karachay and the creation of the first stage of a sewerage system with the removal of treated water to the Mayak Production Association (Ozersk, Chelyabinsk Region) and many others. Priority projects in the field of nuclear and radiation safety are also the following: creation of a Pilot and Demonstration Center for SNF processing based on innovative technologies at the Mining and Chemical Combine; creation of a high-level waste disposal facility in the Nizhnekansky massif (Krasnoyarsk Territory); construction of a complex for cementing low- and medium-level waste at the Mayak Production Association, as well as the creation of installations for the processing of low-level waste with a high degree of purification at the same enterprise.

In total, the complex of nuclear and radiation safety of the State Corporation "Rosatom" includes a number of specialized federal state unitary enterprises. These are enterprises engaged in the processing and storage of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste: the Mining and Chemical Plant, the Northern Enterprise for the Management of Radioactive Waste, the Far East Enterprise for the Management of Radioactive Waste, the Federal Center for Nuclear and Radiation Safety, the Research and Production Association "Radium Institute named after V.G. Khlopin", and also partially - FSUE "Atomflot". In 2008, 15 specialized Radon plants were transferred from the jurisdiction of the abolished Federal Agency for Construction, Housing and Communal Services (Rosstroy) to the State Corporation Rosatom, which were merged into a single company - Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Enterprise for the Management of Radioactive Waste" RosRAO ".

Rosatom State Corporation also has its own specialized emergency rescue units. These are the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Emergency and Technical Center of the Ministry of Atomic Energy of Russia" (St. Petersburg) and the "Center for Rescue and Underwater Operations" Epron "(Selyatino settlement, Moscow Region). Rosatom regularly organizes emergency rescue exercises at nuclear power plants in Russia, and Rosatom experts take part in similar exercises abroad.

Applied and fundamental science

Fundamental science was the founder of the entire nuclear industry. The fundamental stages of the implementation of the Soviet "atomic project" and the subsequent development of domestic nuclear energy are associated with intensive nuclear physics research and discoveries. The year 1918 can be taken as a starting point, when the State X-ray and Radiological Institute was established in Petrograd, and in 1921, the Radium Laboratory at the Academy of Sciences. The research carried out in these institutions formed the basis of the "nuclear project". And in 1954, the works of industry scientists were embodied in the world's first nuclear power plant, launched in the city of nuclear physicists Obninsk.

Since then, for more than six decades, a wide range of research has been carried out in the nuclear industry in such areas as atomic and nuclear physics, plasma physics, quantum optics, gas, hydro and thermodynamics, radiochemistry, acoustics, and many others. During these years, a system of scientific and design organizations was created, capable of fully realizing the scientific concept, from fundamental research to design development and prototypes of products.

In the State Corporation "Rosatom" the main centers providing research in the field of fundamental nuclear physics are and. Both institutes were created as an all-Union experimental base for research in high-energy physics and nuclear physics and still remain the main Russian research base in the field of fundamental nuclear physics, as well as the training of young scientists. A significant amount of fundamental and applied research is also carried out in federal nuclear centers: the All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics in the city of Sarov and the All-Russian Research Institute of Technical Physics in the city of Snezhinsk.

In addition, the subsidiary structure of Rosatom - the company "Atomenergoprom" - includes more than 20 research institutes and design bureaus. Among them are such recognized leaders in their fields as developers and designers of reactors OKB "Gidropress" and OKBM named after I. I. Afrikantov, a developer of the latest technologies for the extraction and processing of uranium and other metals, the All-Russian Research Institute of Chemical Technology, a developer of new types of nuclear fuel and structural materials All-Russian Research Institute of Inorganic Materials named after A. A. Bochvar, a research site for reactor technologies and a developer of advanced technologies for handling spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste, and many others.

Rosatom State Corporation takes an active part in international research projects, in particular, in the Russian-initiated international project to create a thermonuclear experimental reactor - ITER, based on the Russian Tokamak installations. Through cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rosatom participates in three international innovative research projects at once: these are projects to create new generation nuclear reactors INPRO and Generation IV, as well as the Global Nuclear Energy Initiative project, the purpose of which is the creation of a nuclear reactor with a closed fuel cycle with a minimum amount of radioactive waste.

Creation of the technological basis for a new platform of nuclear energy on fast neutrons with the closure of the nuclear fuel cycle underlies the development of the Federal Target Program "Nuclear Energy Technologies of the New Generation". The program is designed for 2010-2020 and is aimed at developing next-generation nuclear technologies. Russia is a recognized world leader in the development of sodium-cooled fast neutron reactors, as well as the only country in the world that has been commercially operating a large-capacity reactor of this type (BN-600 at the Beloyarsk NPP) for many years. The scientific supervisor of this topic is. The program also contains the development of the fundamentals of industrial thermonuclear power engineering. The leading organization in the field of plasma research and laser physics is .

Basic research lays the foundation for the emergence of new applied nuclear technologies. Rosatom State Corporation is a leader in Russia in terms of creating an innovative economy. Rosatom is especially intensively developing three innovative areas: innovations in the field of water treatment and water treatment (the company "[Water Technologies]"), the development of new isotopes for medicine and in the field of superconductivity.

Rosatom State Corporation pays special attention to nanotechnologies and closely cooperates with Rosnano State Corporation in this area. Now scientists of the State Corporation "Rosatom" are developing pilot technologies for obtaining functional substances and products using nanotechnologies and nanomaterials for nuclear, thermonuclear, hydrogen and conventional energy, medicines, materials and products for the national economy.

Another important partner of the State Corporation "Rosatom" in the field of fundamental research is. Together with scientists from the Rosatom Institute, he conducts plasma research, creates methods for using synchrotron radiation for materials science tasks, and performs work to justify the safety of industrial VVER and RBMK reactors. The results of such studies serve not only to improve technologies, but also to create new promising technical areas.

Nuclear icebreaker fleet

Russia has the most powerful icebreaking fleet in the world and unique experience in the design, construction and operation of such vessels. The Russian nuclear icebreaker fleet consists of 6 nuclear icebreakers, 1 container ship and 4 service vessels. Its task is to ensure the stable functioning of the Northern Sea Route, as well as access to the regions of the Far North and the Arctic shelf.

In 1933, the First All-Union Conference on Nuclear Physics was held in Leningrad. It gave a powerful impetus to further research. A year later, Alexander Ilyich Brodsky received heavy water for the first time in the USSR. In 1935, Igor Vasilievich Kurchatov and a group of collaborators discovered the phenomenon of nuclear isometry. Two years later, the first beam of accelerated protons was obtained at the Radium Institute at the first cyclotron in Europe. In 1939, Yakov Borisovich Zeldovich, Yuli Borisovich Khariton, Alexander Ilyich Leipunsky substantiated the possibility of a nuclear fission chain reaction occurring in uranium. And on September 28, 1940, the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences approved the work program for the first Soviet "uranium project".

During the war years, the State Defense Committee recognized the need to resume interrupted work in the field of nuclear physics. On September 28, 1942, a secret GKO decree No. 2352ss "On the organization of work on uranium" was signed. In it, the Academy of Sciences of the USSR was ordered "to resume work on the study of the feasibility of using atomic energy by fissioning the uranium nucleus and to submit by April 1, 1943 a report on the possibility of creating a uranium bomb or uranium fuel."

A Special Committee was set up to direct all work in the field of uranium mining and the development of the atomic bomb. On April 12, 1943, the Laboratory of Measuring Instruments No. 2 of the USSR Academy of Sciences (now the RRC "Kurchatov Institute") was established. In February 1943, the State Defense Committee (GKO), by order No. 2872ss dated February 11, 1943, transferred this laboratory to Moscow and appointed Professor I. V. Kurchatov as the scientific director of uranium research. The duties of day-to-day management of these works were assigned to the Deputy Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars (SNK) of the USSR Mikhail Georgievich Pervukhin and to the authorized GKO for science Sergey Vasilyevich Kaftanov. Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov, First Deputy Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, Deputy Chairman of the State Defense Committee, began to oversee the uranium problem from among the top leadership of the country.

During these years, intelligence data was analyzed in the USSR, questions of the physics of uranium fission, separation of isotopes, radiochemistry and uranium metallurgy were studied. In particular, in 1944, Kurchatov at the M-1 cyclotron for the first time isolated "indicator quantities" of plutonium to study its chemical properties, and the 9th department (mining and processing of uranium ores) was created as part of the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD) of the USSR. But the Great Patriotic War was going on, it required the highest effort of the forces of the whole country, and attention to the uranium problem was insufficient.

The test of the atomic bomb in the United States (July 1945) changed everything. The top leadership of the country is taking decisive measures to organize nationwide work on the atomic problem. GKO Decree No. 9887ss of August 20, 1945 created a Special Committee of senior statesmen and physicists. The general administrative leadership passes from V. M. Molotov to Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria for the direct management of organizations and enterprises for the study of intra-atomic energy of uranium and the production of atomic bombs. The First Main Directorate (PGU) under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR headed by Boris Lvovich Vannikov (1887-1962). In fact, he became the first head of the industry.

PGU from the People's Commissariat of Ammunition transferred plant number 12 (now - OJSC "Machine-building plant", Elektrostal, Moscow region), re-profiled for the processing of uranium ores and concentrates. Later, plant No. 48 (now the Molniya Machine-Building Plant), the Moscow Mechanical Institute of Ammunition (now -) and other objects were also transferred.

Thanks to the great efforts of scientists, work progressed at a rapid pace. In 1946, for the first time on the continent of Eurasia, in the F-1 reactor, under the leadership of Kurchatov, a self-sustaining chain reaction of uranium fission was carried out. This work allowed two years later to launch the first industrial reactor "A" for the production of plutonium with a capacity of 100 MW. He earned at the plant number 817 (now PO Mayak in Ozersk, Chelyabinsk region).

On August 29, 1949, the first Soviet nuclear charge (RDS-1) was successfully tested at the Semipalatinsk test site. Thus, the most intense four years (1945-1949) filled with the heroic work of large scientific and industrial teams allowed the Soviet Union to achieve nuclear parity with the United States.

In 1953, on the basis of the Special Committee, the First, Second and Third Main Directorates under the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the Ministry of Medium Machine Building of the USSR was formed. Vyacheslav Aleksandrovich Malyshev was appointed minister. He also became the chairman of the State Commission for the testing of the first domestic thermonuclear bomb (RDS-6s), conducted in 1953 at the Semipalatinsk test site.

The successful development and testing of nuclear weapons gave impetus to the development of peaceful nuclear energy. In 1954, the world's first nuclear power plant, built under the leadership of Kurchatov, was launched in Obninsk, Moscow Region. The station was equipped with a water-cooled uranium-graphite channel reactor AM (Atom Mirny) with a capacity of 5 MW. The idea for the design of the station's core was proposed by I. V. Kurchatov, Academician Nikolai Antonovich Dollezhal became the chief designer.

In June 1955, I. V. Kurchatov and Anatoly Petrovich Aleksandrov led the development of a program for the development of nuclear energy in the USSR, which provided for the widespread use of atomic energy for energy, transport and other national economic purposes. In 1955, the world's first fast neutron reactor BR-1 with zero power was put into operation, and a year later - BR-2 with a thermal power of 100 kW. In the same years, the most important objects of the industry were founded: the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (in Moscow), (in Dubna), (in Obninsk) and the All-Russian Research Institute of Inorganic Materials (in Moscow).

Under the scientific guidance of the Kurchatov Institute, the first nuclear submarine was built (1957, project K-3) and a new branch of nuclear shipbuilding was developed, which ensured year-round navigation in the northern regions of Russia. In 1959, the world's first ice drift with a nuclear power plant ("Lenin") was put into operation.

Large-scale construction of powerful nuclear power plants for the needs of the national economy continued. In 1964, the first unit of the Novovoronezh NPP was put into operation with a design capacity of 210 MW. In 1973, the world's first fast neutron power reactor BN-350 was launched (Shevchenko, now Aktau, Kazakhstan). In 1974, the first RBMK reactor with a capacity of 1000 MW was launched (Leningrad NPP). A large-scale construction of nuclear power plants was launched in the countries of Eastern Europe.

Then it was necessary to revive the broken production and economic ties, create replacement industries, and get used to the new conditions of domestic and foreign economic activity. The work of the industry was focused on the main priority areas, the distribution of financial resources for the tasks performed was optimized. As a result, the industry has managed to resist, retain the accumulated potential and human resources.

In February 2001, the physical start-up of power unit No. 1 of the Rostov NPP took place. And in March 2004, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 314, the Federal Agency for Atomic Energy was formed. Alexander Yuryevich Rumyantsev was appointed its leader. On November 15, 2005, by order of the Government of the Russian Federation, Sergey Vladilenovich Kiriyenko replaced him as head of the agency.

New large-scale tasks were set before the agency. On October 6, 2006, Decree No. 605 of the Government of the Russian Federation approved the federal target program "Development of the Russian nuclear power industry complex for 2007-2010 and for the future up to 2015". According to it, by 2020, 26 nuclear power units should be put into operation in the country.

In December 2007, in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom (abbreviated name - State Corporation Rosatom) was established. On March 26, 2008, the powers of the abolished Federal Atomic Energy Agency were transferred to it. SV Kiriyenko was appointed General Director. In August 2008, FSUE Atomflot was transferred to the State Corporation.

The State Corporation ensures the implementation of the state policy and the unity of management in the use of atomic energy, the stable operation of the nuclear power industry and nuclear weapons complexes, nuclear and radiation safety. It is also entrusted with the tasks of fulfilling Russia's international obligations in the field of the peaceful use of atomic energy and the regime for the nonproliferation of nuclear materials. The creation of the State Corporation Rosatom is intended to contribute to the implementation of the federal target program for the development of the nuclear industry, create new conditions for the development of nuclear energy, and strengthen Russia's competitive advantages in the global nuclear technology market.

Nuclear industry leaders

The first head of the industry was the head of the First Main Directorate under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR Boris Lvovich Vannikov. A man of dramatic fate, a native of a cohort of creators of conventional weapons, People's Commissar of Armaments, demoted and arrested seventeen days before the start of World War II, and soon released from prison and appointed People's Commissar of Ammunition. He worked, as they say, tirelessly, and already in 1942, for exceptional services to the state in providing the front with new types of artillery and small arms, he was awarded the title Hero of Socialist Labor.

On August 20, 1945, with the organization of the Special Committee and the First Main Directorate, Boris Lvovich was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Special Committee and Head of the PGU.

The most intense four years (1945-1949) of the heroic work of large scientific and industrial teams allowed the Soviet Union to achieve nuclear parity with the United States. For his great personal contribution to the organization of plutonium production and the creation of the first domestic atomic bomb, Boris Lvovich Vannikov was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor for the second time in October 1949, he was the first to become twice Hero of Socialist Labor.

In June 1953, Vyacheslav Alexandrovich Malyshev was appointed Minister of Medium Machine Building. Throughout the war years, he headed the people's commissariat of the tank industry. His tireless titanic work in this post was duly appreciated by conferring on him the title of Hero of Socialist Labor. It is interesting to note that during the war, V. A. Malyshev was at the receptions of I. V. Stalin 107 times! There are no other such examples of leaders who are not members of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks.

As Minister of Medium Machine Building, Vyacheslav Alexandrovich put a lot of effort into expanding the activities of the largest science-intensive industry: weapons business was supplemented by the development of nuclear energy and the creation of submarine and surface nuclear fleets.

V. A. Malyshev was the chairman of the State Commission for the testing of the first domestic thermonuclear bomb RDS-6s, conducted on August 12, 1953 at the Semipalatinsk test site. Immediately after the test, Vyacheslav Alexandrovich, together with other leaders (including Andrei Dmitrievich Sakharov), visited the epicenter of the explosion, where, even a year later, the radiation dose rate exceeded 400 roentgens per hour. This "walk" (as A. D. Sakharov noted in his memoirs) could not but affect the health of its participants.

In 1954, V. A. Malyshev was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR without dismissal from the post of Minister of Medium Machine Building. In February 1955, he was removed from both posts and appointed chairman of the State Committee for New Technology. In 1956, for health reasons, Vyacheslav Alexandrovich left his job. He died in 1957 and was buried in Moscow near the Kremlin wall.

In February 1955, Avraamiy Pavlovich Zavenyagin became the Minister of Medium Machine Building. He is not a novice in the industry, as Deputy People's Commissar of Internal Affairs, he was introduced to the Special Committee on the Uranium Problem, and ten days later he was appointed First Deputy Head of the PGU under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR.

Working at the PSU as the first deputy (1945-1946 and 1949-1953) and deputy head (1946-1949), Avraamy Pavlovich was responsible for the research and production and construction complexes. For a significant contribution to the development of the atomic bomb in 1949, he was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor, and in 1954 he was awarded this title for the second time for his outstanding contribution to accelerating the development of thermonuclear charges.

On February 28, 1955, A.P. Zavenyagin was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, Minister of Medium Machine Building. He held these positions for almost two years. He has merits in the management of design and construction of the most important facilities of the industry - (in Moscow), (in Dubna), (in Obninsk) and the All-Russian Research Institute of Inorganic Materials (in Moscow).

Avraamiy Pavlovich died on December 31, 1956 at the age of 55. Buried at the Kremlin wall.

From December 1956 to April 1957 Boris Lvovich Vannikov acted as minister. The industry worked like a well-established mechanism, but the party and state leadership was attentive and sometimes meticulous about appointments to key positions in the executive authorities. After the death of A.P. Zavenyagin, it took four months to decide on the appointment of Mikhail Georgievich Pervukhin, First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, to the post of Minister of Medium Machine Building.

For the first time, M. G. Pervukhin was connected to the atomic problem back in 1942, when V. M. Molotov instructed him, as deputy chairman of the Council of People's Commissars (1940-1946), to understand the reports of intelligence agencies on projects of uranium-graphite reactors and methods for separating the uranium isotope -235 . In 1943-1945. he was the curator of the atomic project on the part of the Council of People's Commissars.

In August 1945, he was included in the Special Committee, and on November 31 of the same year he became chairman of the Engineering and Technical Council under the Special Committee. For his contribution to the development of the first atomic bomb in 1949, he was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor. In the nuclear project, M. G. Pervukhin was responsible for ensuring the operation of the first enterprises for the production of heavy water, uranium hexafluoride and many chemical reagents.

In 1957, he served as Minister of Medium Machine Building for less than three months - from April 30 to July 24.

In 1956-1958. worked as chairman of the State Committee of the Council of Ministers of the USSR for foreign economic relations, in 1958-1962. was ambassador to the GDR, then worked for the State Planning Committee. Died in 1978.

For success in work, Vitaly Fedorovich was awarded four orders of the USSR and the Russian Federation, he is a laureate of the USSR State Prize and the Peter the Great Prize; candidate of technical sciences.

After being dismissed from the post of Minister of Atomic Energy and Industry of the USSR in the period 1992-1996. worked as First Deputy Minister of the Russian Federation for Atomic Energy, President (1996-2000), First Vice-President of TVEL JSC (2000-2002), Advisor to the President of TVEL JSC (2002-2007).

From November 1991 to March 1992, the industry operated in a transitional mode. On January 29, 1992, a decree of the President of the Russian Federation (No. 61) was signed on the formation of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Atomic Energy. This ministry now owned about 80% of the enterprises of the former USSR Minsredmash, 9 nuclear power plants with 28 power units; the number of employees was almost a million people.

During the period from 1998 to 2001, Evgeny Olegovich, by six decrees of the President of Russia, was appointed Minister of the Russian Federation for Atomic Energy, which was associated with the then frequent changes in the Government of Russia.

A. Yu. Rumyantsev was a member of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences for a long time, and for him the connections of the industry with applied science were not indifferent. He himself initiated joint research programs of RAS institutes with branch research institutes and supported the proposals of others in this direction. Thus, in 2002, he personally headed a joint (Minatom - RAS) materials science program with the leading role of RFNC-VNIITF with the participation of institutes of the Ural Branch and other departments of the Academy of Sciences.

In March 2004, after the transformation of Minatom into the Federal Atomic Energy Agency (Rosatom), Alexander Yuryevich was appointed head of the Agency and worked in this position until November 2005. Since June 2006 - Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Finland.

On November 15, 2005, Sergei Vladilenovich Kiriyenko was appointed head of the Federal Atomic Energy Agency by order of the Government of the Russian Federation. On December 12, 2007, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, Kiriyenko S. V. was appointed General Director of the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom.
