Obninsk State Technical University for Nuclear
Power Engineering
Welcome to http//iate.obninsk.ru/english/univers
ity.htlm
The University was established in 1953 as a
branch of Moscow Engineering and Physics
Institute to provide specialists in the field of
nuclear physics, reactor physics and engineering
for growing nuclear industry of the former Soviet
Union. The education was provided in a close
cooperation with nuclear relating research
institutions located in Obninsk. In 1985 the
status was changed for Obninsk Institute for
Nuclear Power Engineering to be the leading
educational institution to educate specialists
for rapidly developing nuclear power in the
former Soviet Block countries. In 2002 it
acquired the status of the state (National)
technical university.

The nuclear technical university in Obninsk,
which has 4000 students, provides specialists for
the most important nuclear areas.
In the 1990s the Kurchatov Institute lost half
of its staff, and some scientific institutions
simply disappeared.

How big is the generation gape?
How to handle the generation gape?
How to preserve nuclear knowledge?
Examples include (a) Web based networking within
the framework of the Asian Network for Education
in Nuclear Technology (ANENT) in the Republic of
Korea. (b) An intranet based knowledge management
portal supporting document search and access, a
discussion forum, news pages and other media in
Germany. (c) Development, in Japan, of the
technology of laser engraving on to silicone
carbide plate, which is the most durable
artificial material in the world in terms of
strength, corrosion resistance and wear due to
abrasion. The objective is to enable preservation
of documents without the need for sophisticated
preservation environment controls and without the
need for human intervention to initiate a
duplication programme for over 1000 years.

Challenge knowledge managemet
The primary challenge of preserving knowledge is
to find ways in which tacit knowledge might be
captured or at least to be transferred to
successors.
(p.2)
Organizing of problem-oriented Scientific
Sessions to transfer nuclear achievements to
young specialists

Information on Russian Association of Nuclear
Science and Education  RANSE was established by
leading Russian nuclear centers (Russian Research
Center Kurchatov Institute Obnisk State
Technical University for Nuclear Power
Engineering )to consolidate the efforts of the
most famous Russian scientists and their foreign
colleagues on the nuclear knowledge management
focusing knowledge transfer to the next
generations in the area of Nuclear Technologies
for Human Life in 21 Century.   The main focus
of RANSE activity is to support International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA-Vienna, Austria) and
World Nuclear University (WNU- London, UK) in
promoting nuclear knowledge preservation
activity.
