Russian Federal Nuclear Center - The All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics (RFNC - VNIIEF) - is a Federal State Unitary Enterprise (FSUE) of the State Atomic Energy Corporation “Rosatom”. The Institute was founded in 1946 to implement the Soviet Atomic Project. The first Soviet atomic and H-bombs were developed here.
Today, FSUE RFNC - VNIIEF is the largest research and development institution in Russia that successfully handles defense, science and national economy problems. Safety and reliability of the Russian nuclear stockpile was and remains to be the RFNC - VNIIEF's primary mission.
There are several institutes within the RFNC - VNIIEF: Institute of Theoretical and Computational Physics, Institute of Experimental Gas Dynamics and Detonation Physics, Institute of Nuclear and Radiation Physics, Research Institute of Laser Physics, Research Center of High Energy Density and Beam Physics, with Design Bureaus and other programmatic divisions as well - all directed by the general scientific and administrative management.
Scientific events

Khariton Scientific Readings - International Conference. The Readings, held annually, starting from 1999, are the tribute to the memory of an outstanding scientist Yuly Borisovitch Khariton, who used to be the unchallenged leader of RFNC-VNIIEF, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, thrice the Hero of Socialist Labor, laureate of Lenin and Stalin State Awards, the honorary freeman of Sarov city. The first topical Readings, arranged in 1999, addressed the field "Supercomputing and mathematical simulations". |

Khariton Juvenile Readings - International Conference. The series of these Conferences was established to memorize the outstanding scientist of the XX century, the unchallenged leader of RFNC-VNIIEF, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Yuly Borisovitch Khariton (1904-1996). The first Conference was arranged on 1 - 4 March, 1996. |
|
Super-Computation and Computer Simulation - International Seminar. The Workshop is held annually since 1998 by the Institute of Theoretical and Mathematical Physics (ITMF) constituent of RFNC-VNIIEF. The Workshop is the source of valuable information used for comparative analysis of the scientific-level activities, performed at the Russian and foreign scientific centers in supercomputing field and those, addressing operational reliability of multi-processor computing systems. |
|
The Human and the Electromagnetic Fields - International Conference. The Conference addresses the recent experimental and theoretical studies of the effects of low and ultralow magnetic fields, electromagnetic and ionizing radiations on biological objects, their environmental and medical aspects included. |
|
Fundamental Properties of Plutonium - International Workshop. Holding international meetings on this topic was initiated by Professor Siegfried Hecker (USA), an eminent scientist honored with many scientific awards in his country and in 2003 elected a foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. |
|
International Conference “Interaction between hydrogen isotopes and structural materials". Conference subjects: kinetics and thermodynamics of interaction between hydrogen and solids, effect of hydrogen isotopes on properties of structural materials, hydrides and hydride transformations, methods and equipment. |
