VNIAES

In 1974, by order of the Minister of the Ministry of Energy of the USSR, the Research and Production Association Energia (NPO Energia) was established on the basis of Moscow State Depth Department Glavatomenergo, the Perlovsky Experimental Plant and the Energomekhanizatsiya Trust.

The atomic theme of the work of NPO Energia then included 7 areas:

- ensuring reliable and safe operation of nuclear power plants ;

- fuel cycle optimization;

- development of methods and means for periodic monitoring of metal and welded joints of equipment and pipelines of nuclear power plants;

- improvement of nuclear power plant water regimes ;

- creation of simulators for the training of NPP operating personnel;

- study of the properties of materials used in operating and designed nuclear power plants under the influence of radiation , temperature and pressure;

- non-standard equipment for nuclear power plants.

In the same year, a high-rise building is being built - the first building.

In 1975, Doctor of Technical Sciences became First Deputy on nuclear topics. Mr., Professor Ibragimov Marat Hadzhi-Galievich.

In 1979, the USSR Government Decree established the All-Union Scientific Research Institute for the Operation of Nuclear Power Plants (VNIIAES). VNIAES has become the head unit of NPO Energia with its affiliates: the VNIIAES branch in Yerevan, the VNIIAES branch of Elektrogorsk Research and Testing Station of Energia.

In 1983, the Horizont design bureau was separated from NPO Energia into an independent enterprise ( MHD -mathematics).

In 1991, VNIIAES NPO Energia lost its branch in Yerevan due to the collapse of the USSR.

In 1992, a pilot plant of experimental and technical engineering separated into an independent enterprise. VNIIAES became the successor of NPO Energia and became known as the All-Russian Research Institute for the operation of nuclear power plants.

In 2004 there was a shareholding, the institute became known as VNIIAES JSC.
