September 4 - Day of the nuclear support specialist in our country. The Soviet Union paid special attention to the development of a nuclear bomb and the implementation of nuclear testing programs. Each year, scientists made more and more discoveries in this field. The main attention was paid to scientific tests on the creation of nuclear charges with their conversion.
Nuclear program wins
The main achievement during the development of the nuclear industry is the creation of the Semipalatinsk test site (Altai Territory). The first, and in 1990, the last nuclear tests in the USSR took place in 1949. Thanks to nuclear scientists, their implementation under unfavorable conditions has become possible. It is to these heroes that Nuclear Support Specialist Day is dedicated.
The photo above is the site of the first bomb that exploded, a kind of “landmark” of the Semipalatinsk test site. All domestic specialists in the nuclear and military industries worked on the creation of atomic weapons. After the first test, nuclear scientists carried out another 715 such works.
About the profession
Atomic physics is a branch of science that studies the structure and properties of an atom. After the discovery of radioactivity (1896), it was divided into several areas. In the 40-50s there was a study of nuclear fission, as a result, nuclear power, weapons and reactors were created. Soon, fusion activities began.
On the occasion of the Nuclear Support Specialist, nuclear physicists across the country are congratulated. What is their work? Nuclear physicists are involved in the maintenance of nuclear reactors, monitor their condition with the help of special devices. Also, the knowledge of these specialists is applicable at nuclear power plants , research institutions, laboratories and specialized educational institutions.
Problems After Nuclear Tests
Scientific progress has led to a number of serious questions. The negative consequences of nuclear discoveries were experienced by residents of the regions of the Altai Territory, where the radioactive background sharply increased. There was a need for the disposal of nuclear waste. The question also arose about the effect of radiation on people. All these tasks had to be solved by someone. So a new profession arose - a nuclear physicist. In 2006, the Russian government established a separate holiday for such workers, which is called the Day of Nuclear Support Specialist.
The post-war country had high hopes for the creation of nuclear weapons. World famous physicist Andrei Sakharov made a significant contribution to the development of Soviet science and the creation of a hydrogen bomb. In his scientific works, he spoke of the enormous destructive power of a nuclear bomb capable of destroying all of humanity. Studies brought their author world fame.
What do nuclear physicists do
Nuclear Security Specialist Day in Russia is designed to remind those who play an important role in the country's security. Nuclear tests have not been carried out for a long time, but questions of protection against nuclear weapons are still relevant. The research institute of Russia investigates every damaging factor of nuclear explosions, disassembling it into individual elements. Using special devices create electromagnetic pulses emitted during the explosion.
MiG-29 is a model for experiments, which is tested initially without load, and then increased to maximum values. Under such conditions, missiles of a failed aircraft will begin to fly out spontaneously. The task of nuclear scientists is to anticipate possible scenarios.
There is another well-known installation - this is a giant pipe. This is an enclosed space where a shock wave is created. Through such a device passed the entire military armored vehicles of Russia. If the tanks did not pass such a test, they were sent for revision. That is, any model of equipment must be approved by scientists before it goes into operation.
Necessary professional qualities of a specialist
Being a nuclear physicist is a big responsibility. On the occasion of Nuclear Specialist's Day, congratulations and kind words are heard for people who are required to possess the following advantages:
- Have good analytical skills.
- Be able to think logically and rationally.
- Have a mathematical mindset.
- Have a good memory.
- To be able to concentrate perfectly.
- Be responsible, independent and organized.
- Possess emotional stability and have developed intuition.
- Be able to keep a secret.
In addition, they, of course, must love their job.
Nuclear Potential of the Russian Federation
Nuclear Specialist Day is a celebration for those on whom a huge responsibility for the security of the whole country rests. Every day they contribute to the improvement of Russia's nuclear arsenal. In 1947, they created the first structural unit - the special department of the General Staff of the USSR Armed Forces, which became the prototype of the 12th Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense. The explosion in Chernobyl at nuclear power plants introduced adjustments to the concept of state security. After this tragedy, a new organization was created - the Nuclear Ammunition Safety Inspectorate. There was a need for a professional emergency service.
At the moment, special state weapons programs have been developed that provide for a whole range of measures that ensure the potential of Rosatom. National security is ensured by the presence of nuclear weapons in Russia. Scientists have the opportunity to create a means of destruction and know how to defend themselves from it. The research institute began to develop laser weapons.
Solemn events to the day of the nuclear physicist
September 4 - Day of the nuclear support specialist, the one who stores ammunition and controls all nuclear tests. The country hosts a series of celebrations dedicated to this event. The celebration is considered by all experts in the field of nuclear engineering. Particularly distinguished awarded diplomas, honor veterans, remember the dead.
The date of the event is dedicated to the creation of the Special Department at the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union (1947), which was engaged in the implementation of all nuclear tests. Military nuclear scientists have dedicated their lives to science and the state. They are the backbone of the country, it is precisely to such people that the Russians owe the presence in the state of the most perfect of all known weapons in the world.
September 4 Day of the Russian Nuclear Support Specialist - professional triumph of nuclear physicists. Congratulating the representatives of this profession, you do not need verses or long phrases. It is enough to say simply and heartily that their work is very important and will not go unnoticed both in wartime and in peacetime.
