Abstract
The history of the IPPE is associated with the names of I.V. Kurchatov, A.I. Leypunsky, D.I. Blokhintsev, A.P. Alexandrov, and E.P. Slavsky. On the initiative of A.I. Leypunsky and D.I. Blokhintsev, IPPE developed as a comprehensive, multidisciplinary research center. The institute created major experimental facilities, including the EGP-15 accelerator, the BFS-1 and BFS-2 large physics stands, the BARS nuclear laser stand, and the SVD-2 high-pressure stand. The research conducted yielded important results in the physics of nuclear reactors with neutron spectra in the thermal, intermediate, and fast energy ranges. Fundamental and applied research has resulted in the creation of scientific, engineering, and technological schools in the fields of low- and intermediate-energy nuclear physics, plasma processes in thermionic converters and nuclear-pumped lasers, nuclear physics, nuclear reactor physics, reactor theory, low-temperature plasma physics and nuclear-pumped lasers, thermal physics and hydrodynamics, corrosion of structural materials, liquid-metal coolant technology, chemistry, radiochemistry, and other areas of nuclear science and engineering, applied mathematics, reactor-specific physics and protection, solid-state physics and radiation materials science, and the technology of nuclear reactor core components. Under the scientific supervision of IPPE, more than 120 projects for various nuclear power plants – land-based, underwater, and space-based – have been created, including two water-cooled units of the Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Plant in the Urals, the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant in Chukotka, the transportable TPP-3 on a caterpillar track, the
BN-350 fast neutron power reactors in Kazakhstan, and the BN-600 and BN-800 at the Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Plant. The implementation of the fast reactor development program has enabled Russia to achieve a leading position globally in fast reactor technology. Currently, the institute's primary focus is on addressing the technological development of large-scale nuclear energy based on a closed nuclear fuel cycle with fast neutron reactors, developing innovative nuclear and non-nuclear technologies and expanding their use.
