Russia Marks 81 Years Since the Birth of Its Nuclear Industry: From the Soviet Nuclear Program to Modern Nuclear Talent Development
On August 20, 1945, the founding documents establishing the Special Committee and the First Main Directorate under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR were officially signed, generally regarded as the starting point of the Soviet nuclear industry system. Eighty-one years later, Russia's nuclear energy community once again looks back at this historical milestone, linking it to nuclear science and technology development and talent cultivation. In August of that year, after the United States used atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Soviet Union accelerated the establishment of its own nuclear research and industrial system. On August 29, 1949, the Soviet Union completed the RDS-1 nuclear test. Thereafter, Soviet nuclear science gradually extended from military applications to peaceful uses, building the world's first grid-connected nuclear power plant and developing a fleet of nuclear-powered icebreakers.

Latin American Energy Experts Learn About Russia's Nuclear Industry Development and Peaceful Use Prospects in Russia
Energy experts from several Latin American countries recently visited the ATOM Museum at VDNKh in Moscow to gain a systematic understanding of the history of Russia's nuclear industry, key technological solutions, and future directions for the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The visit spanned from early scientific research to modern nuclear technology applications, with a focus on the operating principles of nuclear power plants, the structure of water-water power reactors, and the fundamentals of how nuclear energy is converted into electricity. The exchange not only focused on traditional nuclear power but also showcased future-oriented technologies such as small nuclear power plants. A power transmission network planning expert from Peru noted that he had previously been unfamiliar with the development path of Russia's nuclear industry, and this...
