On June 8, 1948 at Chelyabinsk-40 (now called Ozersk), the first domestic industrial nuclear reactor has been launched. But so he was listed in documents, but called him “Annushka.” One of the people participating in the Soviet nuclear project, the veteran of the city and on the Mayak Petr Ivanovich Tyakin said where the emotional nickname came from.
At the next meeting with the facility's employees, EFIM Pavlovich Slavsky said: However, Annushka works well and is quite stable, only the approved regulations need to be strictly followed, as Kurchatov has shown. This is the key to our normal life. Since then, the first person of the nuclear industry has begun to be called Annushka.
Everyone likes the affectionate woman, quickly spreading and rooting, Mr. Py Pyotr Ivanovich recalled. A -1 reactor is built from curious eyes. Initially it did not intend to get electricity – they will synthesize plutonium.
The subjects were built, strictly observing secret and hasty. Therefore, a 100 m wide and 53 m deep hole in the winter of 1946-1947. And after a year and nine months, the construction of a building under the first Soviet nuclear reactor was completed. At an altitude of 80 meters 53 meters, they occur on the underground, where the A-1 reactor is in 16 thousand tons. Annushki's tests started immediately. Earlier, the Federation reported that the construction of the southern nuclear power plant in the Chelyabinsk area may continue. Even if this area needs an atomic energy center – read in the document. Photo: Federation / Evgeny Porochin
