  Story

  Obninsk branch of the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (1953-1985)

  Laboratory "B" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR - the enterprise of mailbox 276 (hereinafter) of the Ministry of Medium Machine Building of the USSR needed specialists in nuclear power engineering. In 1950, the director of the IPPE D. I. Blokhintsev signed an order on the formation of a correspondence departments Moscow Mechanical Institute (subsequently transformed into a branch of MEPhI) and Moscow State University. The organization of these departments was entrusted to the head of the laboratory, PO Box 276 V. N. Glazanov.

  The new educational institution did not have full-time teachers and classrooms, but academic work carried out satisfactorily. In 1952, the educational institution was transformed by the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the USSR (order dated October 24, 1952) into the evening department No. 5 of MEPhI. This order was launched almost two years later, in August 1954, without staffing or funding.

  The problem of missing classrooms was solved at the expense of a part of the school building named after Shatsky and basements of dormitories and premises of the IPPE personnel department. Laboratory work was carried out in the corresponding laboratories of the IPPE with the participation of employees of these laboratories. Formally, the educational institution was a branch of MEPhI, in fact - a branch of IPPE.

  In order for the educational institution to receive its own building, V.N. Glazanov, being the IPPE Deputy Director for Science, went for a forgery by building a new building with an area of ​​400 square meters. m according to the documents for the IPPE department and transferring it in 1959 to the MEPhI branch.

  By the beginning of the 1960s, a team of teachers, teaching and support staff was formed and teaching and research laboratories, workshops, and classrooms fully equipped with modern equipment and instruments were created. The laboratories were headed by the first employees: L. M. Miroshnichenko, T. E. Prokurat, M. V. Borisov, G. M. Nazarova, Yu. A. Fedorov.

  In 1962, 50 people began to study in the first year of the full-time department. In 1963, the institution of curators who worked for voluntary. Also, on a voluntary basis, an educational commission headed by students began to work, the responsibility of which was charged with monitoring the progress of students.

  The organization of training included UIR (training and research work) for two days a week, starting from the 4th year, on the basis of the IPPE, then pre-diploma practice and, finally, a diploma as the final stage of the two previous types of training. Diplomas as a result were mostly of a high level.

  Over the twenty years of the existence of the MEPhI branch, the number of full-time teachers has grown from three in 1954 to one hundred and four in 1974. Graduates of the Obninsk branch of MEPhI were already highly rated in the early 1960s, and the teaching staff came up with the idea of ​​creating an independent institute on the basis of the branch for training physicists in the fields of biology, radiology, geology, and meteorology. Curricula developed by the institute were coordinated with the relevant ministries. In 1963, an order of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Education of the USSR appeared on the organization on the basis of a branch of an independent institute with a reception of 275 people with funding from the Ministry of Medium Machine Building of the USSR for the construction of an educational building and a hostel for students. A project of the educational building was developed, the construction of which was completed in 1964 to the 1st floor. However, in the same year, after the death of sixty-six-year-old V.N. Glazanov, the general contractor of the IPPE handed over the building to the Central Institute for Advanced Studies (CIPC). The very existence of the branch was called into question. In 1966, an order was issued by the Minister of Higher Education of the USSR V.P. Elyutin and the Minister of Medium Machine Building of the USSR E.P. Slavsky to close the full-time department due to the inappropriateness of parallelism in the training of physicists in the Obninsk branch and MEPhI itself.

  The team of teachers managed to convince the leadership of the Ministry of Medium Machine Building not to disperse the formed unique educational institution. For three years (1968, 1969, 1970) the institute existed semi-legally. Worked day department which, according to the order, was liquidated. In 1969-1970, the teaching staff, with the support of all scientific institutes Obninsk sought to open a branch. In 1970, an order was issued to open a branch of MEPhI in Obninsk to train specialists in automated control systems (ACS) and computer technology.

  In 1970, the branch was headed by G.A. Sereda, under which an educational building was built, the departments were partially equipped with modern equipment and devices, the new institute received well-trained teaching and educational support staff. In 1985, on the basis of the MEPhI branch, new Institute nuclear energy (IATE), which headed

  
  

  According to the estimates of the State Corporation Rosatom, the annual need for new specialists for the industry is 3-3.5 thousand people. Thus, the training of competent personnel for the nuclear power industry is one of the most pressing problems in the development of the Russian nuclear power sector.

  Educational and methodological support

  The quality of nuclear engineering education today is controlled by three educational and methodological associations (UMO).

  UMO on the basis of the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute within the framework of the direction "Nuclear Physics and Technology" is engaged in the coordination of education, training and methodical work in 19 universities and six military schools in the following specialties:

  • "Nuclear reactors and power plants",
  • "Protection and non-proliferation of nuclear materials",
  • "Electronics and automation of physical installations",
  • "Radiation safety of man and the environment",
  • "Physics of Charged Particle Beams and Acceleration Technologies",
  • "Physics atomic nucleus and elementary particles,
  • "Physics of Condensed State of Materials",
  • "Physics of kinetic phenomena".

  UMO on the basis of the Russian Chemical-Technological University. DI. Mendeleev is conducting similar work with seven universities that graduate specialists in the direction of "Chemical Technology". Specialties - "Modern Chemical Technologies for the Energy Industry" and "Chemical Technologies of Rare Elements and Rare Earth Materials".

  UMO on the basis of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute controls seven universities in the direction of "Nuclear and Hydrogen Energy". Specialties:

  • "Nuclear power plants and nuclear installations",
  • "Technical physics of thermonuclear reactors and plasma installations",
  • "Water and fuel technologies at thermal and nuclear power plants".

  Training of specialists

  Currently, 22 Russian universities have 32 programs in nuclear specialties, providing for the qualification of an engineer (specialist) upon graduation, and more than 25 master's programs.

  Main state universities that train nuclear engineers are:

  • National Research Nuclear University "MEPhI" - the base university of the State Corporation "Rosatom";
  • Moscow State Technical University. N.E. Bauman (MSTU);
  • Ivanovo State Power Engineering University (ISUE);
  • Moscow Power Engineering Institute (Technical University, MPEI);
  • Russian University of Chemical Technology DI. Mendeleev (RCTU);
  • Obninsk Institute of Atomic Energy (IATE);
  • Saint Petersburg State politechnical University(SPbGPU);
  • Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University (NSTU);
  • Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU);
  • Ural State Technical University (USTU).

  Most universities have experimental facilities on which students can perform their laboratory works and research assignments, receive practical experience. For example, NRNU MEPhI and TPU have working research reactor facilities, NGTU, MPEI, St. Petersburg State University have unique experimental facilities for thermal-hydraulic studies of various coolants, and RCTU, USTU and TPU have radiochemical laboratories equipped with sophisticated measuring equipment. On the basis of NRNU MEPhI, a number of research centers– nuclear, particle acceleration, laser, materials science, nonproliferation, nanotechnology and others.

  Universities conduct education and training in accordance with curricula and standards that reflect the specific requirements for specialists in this field. These standards include:

  • only full-time higher education;
  • special attention paid to fundamental knowledge of physics and mathematics, combined with engineering skills;
  • a significant proportion of practical laboratory classes;
  • research work of students, starting from the seventh semester;
  • the duration of training is five to six years, while pre-diploma practice and the preparation of a thesis are given six months each;
  • stringent requirements for professional qualities students, which necessarily include a culture of safety and knowledge of the issues of non-proliferation of nuclear materials.

  

  Consolidation of educational infrastructure

  A competent nuclear specialist has in-depth knowledge of natural sciences, various engineering skills, the ability and readiness to master new nuclear technologies and techniques, owns the methodology for performing numerical computer and natural experiments, assessing the reliability and reliability of experimental data. He must be ready to make decisions, cope with optimization tasks with a large number of parameters and criteria. The competence of such a specialist implies the ability to take into account technological, ergonomic and economic limitations, the possession of relevant skills in information technology, communication skills required for teamwork, ability to communicate with specialists from nuclear related technical fields, ability to work within international projects a good level of English.

  To achieve these goals, it was decided to consolidate the knowledge and infrastructure of Russian nuclear educational institutions. The first step was taken in 2007, when the Russian Nuclear Innovation Consortium (RNIC) was created, which includes 21 universities, three advanced training institutes and 12 research centers.

  In December 2009, the National Research Nuclear University was established - a network regional academic and research complex based on MEPhI (NRNU MEPhI).

  Such a unified educational space is being created in accordance with the current principles and trends in nuclear engineering education around the world.

  Cooperation with enterprises

  AT last years Russian universities got the opportunity to more effectively use the research facilities of the leading Russian nuclear institutions and industrial enterprises for practical exercises, research and theses students.

  For example, at the State Scientific Center of the Russian Federation-IPPE (Obninsk), the BFS-1 and BFS-2 critical stands are used both for research purposes and as a valuable educational resource when teaching students, teachers and specialists. Today a large volume educational material and installations, including laboratories, became available to domestic and foreign students. The BFS-1 and BFS-2 facilities also contain archival data on various demonstration tests and experiments carried out on them for a wide range of tasks, including simulation of fast reactor conditions. various types, optimization of the neutron-physical regime of their cycles, confirmation of nuclear safety. Combined with an ever-expanding program of lecture courses and case studies, these stands provide students with a unique opportunity to access real field experimental work and its results. In fact, everything that is currently located at this site is connected, one way or another, with future fast neutron reactors.

  JSC "SSC RIAR" in Dimitrovgrad also offers its experimental stands and training personnel.

  Students of relevant specialties are sent to pass undergraduate practice and writing theses at nuclear power plants Russian Federation, thanks to which the efforts of the professorial staff and practitioners are combined to prepare future professionals. NRNU MEPhI together with leading organizations nuclear industry organized 26 scientific and educational centers that combine the efforts of organizations and the university both for scientific research and for undergraduate and graduate students. Many of them won the competition of scientific and educational centers within the framework of the federal target program "Scientific and scientific-pedagogical personnel of innovative Russia" for 2009-2013.

  International partnership

  Since 1997, the world's first master's program for training specialists in the field of safeguards and the protection of nuclear materials has been operating as part of a joint project of the US Department of Energy, leading American nuclear laboratories and MEPhI.

  In recent years, a group of teachers from the US and the Russian Federation has also been developing new master's programs that will have to work on solving new world problems that are currently emerging. The Joint Russian-American Program for International Nuclear Security, supported by the US Department of Energy and Rosenergoatom, provides nuclear instructors from Texas A&M, the Universities of Merlind and Oregon (USA) and NRNU MEPhI with the opportunity to work together on training human resources for the nuclear industry .

  Since 2004, the professors of these universities have been creating new master's programs. The new curricula they have developed for students around the world involve the implementation of experimental and theoretical research, a course of lectures on the physics of fast reactors with a total duration of 72 hours, practical work. Within the framework of the international nuclear safety program, students can do internships at installations in France, Switzerland and the Russian Federation.

  A number of universities offer innovative projects within the framework of nuclear knowledge management and GNEP initiatives, for example, foreign internships at facilities in the Russian Federation for international students, courses in nuclear engineering of English language for students from third countries, short-term theoretical courses of lectures conducted by leading specialists and nuclear experts. NRNU MEPhI actively cooperates with the IAEA on the management and preservation of nuclear knowledge and the development of exemplary educational programs in the field of "Nuclear Security and Safety" and "Nuclear Technologies and Engineering". The IAEA Nuclear Knowledge Management Mission, which visited NRNU MEPhI in January of this year, confirmed the leading role of the university in Russian system nuclear education. It was noted that NRNU MEPhI has every opportunity to become an international regional center for nuclear education, providing training, retraining and advanced training of personnel in the field of the peaceful use of atomic energy for countries that have taken the path of developing nuclear energy. NRNU MEPhI is already involved in the work of the IAEA on technical assistance programs for Belarus and Armenia to develop the necessary human resources.

  The main goal of all these events is to motivate a new generation of students to work in the industry, prepare them to solve various technological problems, and promote compliance with the nonproliferation regime and international security.
