JSC Advanced Research Institute of Inorganic Materials named after Academician A.A.Bochvar, the peer of the Soviet and Russian nuclear industry, began its activity by solving material science and technological problems. Established as the Institute of Special Metals of the NKVD (this is its first of eight names), it took part in the most important state projects in the nuclear industry. Its scientific staff contributed to the first Soviet atomic project implementation. The Institute developed fuel for the first nuclear power plant in Obninsk, the first fast neutron reactor, and for the world’s first nuclear icebreaker "Lenin". In 1994, ARIIM was granted the status of the State Scientific Centre of the Russian Federation. On the eve of the 80th anniversary of the Institute, which was named NII-9 in Soviet times for security reasons, Leonid Alexandrovich Karpyuk, Director General of ARIIM JSC, answered our questions.
