Building and nuclear reactor of the world's first nuclear power plant in Obninsk. Physicist, leader and organizer of work on atomic science and technology in the USSR, Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences I. V. Kurchatov talks about the tasks of science in the field of atomic energy (synchronously, countertype, shooting until 1960). Extraction of uranium and its processing into fuel elements for reactors. The building is the reactor hall and the control panel of the Bulgarian nuclear power plant. The administrative building of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna. Meeting of the Committee on the structure of the core; the Bulgarian scientist Zh. Zhelev, the Soviet and Mongolian scientists are speaking. Scientists in the laboratories of the institute at the alpha spectrometer, at the propane installation and near the Foton installation. Synchrophasotron view. Synchrophasotron diagram (animation).
