Kurchatov Institute: Science-Fiction Becomes Reality
Subscribe to Vesti News
The head of the Kurchatov Institute, the academic Mikhail Kovalchuk, is one of Russia's most eminent scientists and science policy makers. In the past, the Kurchatov Institute focused mostly on nuclear physics. But nowadays the scientific center is also conducting important research on nano- and biotechnology, all while developing new materials and medicines. It even operates a synchrotron. Kurchatnik, as it's fondly called by the old guard, can now be used as a working and highly efficient model for reorganizing Russian scientific organizations. People there know how to scale up their experience throughout the country. Mikhail Kovalchuk is going to be featured on Afternoon Business Report hosted by Nailya Asker-Zade on Russia 24. The show will air at 10:15 am on Tuesday. Here's an excerpt from the program.

Russia: These lab worms may have helped reveal the elixir of life
Russian scientists at Altai State University in Barnaul conducted research into a new medicine which may have the potential to regenerate human organs as well as slow the ageing process, Saturday.
SOT, Employee of the Scientific and Research Institute of Biomedicine at the Altai State University, (Russian): On these two photographs we can see parts of the liver. The right-hand one was exposed to the tested medicine and, as we see, there is a much bigger growth zone around it which is seen as a light area. So, we can suggest that this medicine regenerates the liver.
SOT, Ivan Smirnov, director of the Scientific Research Institute of Biomedicine at the Altai State University (Russian): It [the research] is aimed at making this medicine, or technologies, stimulate regeneration processes in the body as opposed to the processes of degeneration which leads to general ageing.
SOT, Ivan Smirnov, director of the Scientific Research Institute of Biomedicine at the Altai State University (Russian): We started talking about ageing at a time when the medicine showed an increase in the lifespan of C. elegans laboratory worms.
SOT, Ivan Smirnov, director of the Scientific Research Institute of Biomedicine at the Altai State University (Russian): It [the worm] doesn't live very long, 2-3 weeks. When medicines which prevent ageing are used on it, it lives longer and when our medicine was used, it lived longer. And it was noted that it could provide a future anti-ageing opportunity [for medical science] if all other tests prove this.

RUSSIA: G7 SUMMIT WILL ADDRESS PROBLEM OF NUCLEAR SMUGGLING
English/Nat
International leaders gathering for Moscow's G-7 nuclear security summit will pay special attention to one of the most frightening side-effects of the collapse of communism - nuclear smuggling.
But aside from statements endorsing the need to combat the threat, no intiatives are expected from the meeting.
Without international financial backing, however, Russian scientists say they cannot modernise outdated security systems in the country's cash-strapped nuclear institutions.
Greenpeace staged a demonstration Friday in Moscow demanding the shutdown of reactors in central and eastern Europe.
With international leaders in Moscow for the G-7's nuclear security
summit Greenpeace staged a demonstration demanding the shutdown of reactors in central and eastern Europe.
Their message - No More Chernobyl.
SOUNDBITE:
This demonstration is to call on the summit to actually start the shutdown of reactors in central and eastern Europe. Since 1992 the G-7 nations have been expressing concern about dangerous reactors in this region and since that time have not shut down a single reactor.

In a quiet Moscow suburb, the Kurchatov Institute was the nerve centre of the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons industry.
The institute houses the world's oldest operating reactor, built on Stalin's orders to process the plutonium that fuelled the U-S-S-R's first nuclear bomb.
Now scientists at the Kurchatov Institute are at the heart of a struggle to make Russia's nuclear industry safe for the post-Cold War world.
The main task - to close the door to the threat of nuclear smuggling.
Workers have watched their once-privileged lifestyles fall sharply in the wake of painful market reforms.
As a result Russia has now become the focus of speculation that smuggling radioactive materials could offer a quick fix for disenchanted employees.
Pay at the Kurchatov Institute averages a little over one hundred U-S dollars monthly.
Four thousand physicists and researchers have quit over the last five years.
The head of the Institute's non-proliferation division says Russia must fundamentally change its attitude to nuclear security.
Now that communist controls over freedom of movement have been dropped, nuclear scientists can no longer be herded into secret cities.
A new approach is demanded.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
The system was oriented on watching people. The internationally recognised system, and a system which could exist in democratic society, in a society with a market economy, should be oriented not to control people, but to control material.

The struggle to drag Russia's safety procedures into line with international norms does not promise to be an easy one.
The Kurchatov Institute is getting much-needed aid to face the future from American colleagues.
U-S research laboratories like Los Alamos and Brookhaven are contributing funds and know-how to establish strict control over the institute's five-kilometre perimeter.
Yet while scientists are committed to passing on the techniques to similar institutions, there is a chronic shortage of financing.
And nuclear research institutes are thought to be the source of those cases of smuggling which have come to light.
Vladimir Sukhoruchkin emphasised the need for money and international support.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
It is just a question of speed. If we will have money, very quickly we will switch to a new system.

Russia: Putin talks nuclear technology with NRC KI director Kovalchuk
Director of the National Research Centre Kurchatov Institute (NRC KI) Mikhail Kovalchuk briefed Russian President Vladimir Putin on developments in nuclear technology and the results of a state programme for developing the Kurchatov Institute in Moscow, Monday. The institute's participation in international research projects was also on the meeting's agenda.
SOT, Vladimir Putin, Russian President (Russian): I would like to discuss with you the work results and what they have brought to the institute well-known and respected team as well as successes and achievements including what has been achieved with the help of a new model, and which areas you think will be most promising and interesting for the future.
SOT, Mikhail Kovalchuk, director of the National Research Centre Kurchatov Institute (Russian): That is why the nuclear technologies are our priority. I want to stress that Institute actively cooperates with Rosatom [State Nuclear Energy Corporation] and serves as research supervisor and works on ideas and directions for many important questions. I want to point several important issues. This image illustrates it very well: here is the Arctic, and here is the Arctic Circle, not far from Murmansk. You see what we had there 10 years ago, when you signed the document on implementation of a comprehensive programme of environmental work aimed at cleaning up radioactive waste in the Arctic. Over the past years, this vast area has been transformed into a unique centre for treating and storing radioactive waste.

Global interest in Russian arming is growing. It's obvious from fulfilled and newly signed contracts. Russia intends to provide naval presence in all strategically important regions of the World Ocean. By the year 2025 Russian-made arms should be 85% domestic parts. Key priorities in the development of the military industrial complex and the issue of import phaseout in the defense industry are the main focus of the meeting held in Rybinsk on Tuesday by the President. At the local NPO Saturn, JSC he signed off on the start of testing of a new gas-turbine engine for the Navy. Later the industrial development issue became the topic of meetings between the President and various business groups.
