In 2025, the Russian nuclear industry celebrates its 80th anniversary. On 20 August 1945, Russia established a special nuclear energy committee. In response to the threat posed by the United States, the country created nuclear weapons within four years (RDS-1 bomb successfully tested in 1949). This saw the USSR becoming a pioneer and leader in the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Domestic atomists built the first nuclear power plant in Obninsk in 1954 and the first nuclear icebreaker Lenin in 1959 to help explore the Arctic. The main theme of the anniversary year can be expressed in three words: pride, inspiration, and dream. The industry founders’ feats have been a source of pride for nuclear scientists, who are inspired by the achievements of previous generations. They are also intended to push forward and expand the possibilities. The celebration of the 80th anniversary of the nuclear industry is suggested to include a number of events, with the main ones being the performance in Nizhny Novgorod on 20 August and the World Atomic Week international forum that is being held in Moscow from 25 to 28 September.
