IPPE
The State Scientific Center of the Russian Federation - Physical-Energetic Institute AI Leipunski ( Russian Государственный научный центр Российской Федерации - Физико-энергетический институт имени А.И.Лейпунского shortly ГНЦ РФ - ФЭИ or IPPE) is a Russian research institute in Obninsk . It is named after the Soviet nuclear physicist Alexander Leipunski .
The institute was established as Laboratory "V" (Лаборатория "В") on December 19, 1945 by decree of the Council of People's Commissars . In 1951 the laboratory was ordered to build the first Soviet nuclear power plant. The Obninsk nuclear power plant went into operation on July 27, 1954.
The developments of the institute also include:
- Fast reactors BR-1, BR-2, BR-5, BR-10 in Obninsk
- BOR-60 reactor in RIAR (Dimitrovgrad)
- Reactor BN-350 for the Aqtau nuclear power plant
- BN-600 reactor for the Beloyarsk nuclear power plant
- Reactors for nuclear submarines
- TOPAZ and BUK reactors for space probes
The Belojarsk Nuclear Power Plant, the TES-3 Movable Nuclear Power Plant, the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant and numerous other designs were also completed under the scientific direction or in collaboration .
In the 1950s and 1960s Igor Bondarenko ( Lenin Prize Winner ) worked here with fundamental research on fast neutron physics and the reactors derived from it.
