Building of the Institute of Physics and Power Engineering, 2008

Institute of Physics and Power Engineering (full name: I.I. Leypunsky Institute of Physics and Power Engineering, Template:Lang-ru; IPPE) is a research and development institute in the field of nuclear technology located in Obninsk, Russia. It is a subsidiary of Rosatom.

History

IPPE was established in May 1946 to develop nuclear power technology; it was preceded by First Research Institute Laboratory "V", established 1945, which developed into IPPE. The purpose of the Institute was the development of nuclear reactors and to solve scientific and engineering tasks in the field of nuclear power. The staff of the Institute had built the world's first nuclear power plant in Obninsk, AM-1 ("Атом Мирный", Russian for Atom Mirny, or "peaceful atom"), was commissioned at IPPE on 27 June 1954.

Developments

During its existence the Institute has developed more than 120 different projects,[1] including:

International Collaboration

The Institute collaborates with the leading scientific and research organizations of Russia, CIS and foreign countries.[4][5] Among the most international projects can be named:

  • involves on a large-scale project: FAIR | FAIR-Russia Archived 2021-03-16 at the Wayback Machine.
  • the cooperation with France concerning the creation of fast reactors;
  • joint research with the USA, France, Germany, and Japan concerning reusing ex-nuclear materials of the reactor BH-600;
  • joint project development of the fast reactor CEFR with China;
  • joint project development of the fast reactor KALIMER[6] with South Korea;
  • interested in FBNR project;
