For a long time, all information related to the invention and the use of weapons mass lesion was hidden from the townsdays. Unknown scientists worked in secret laboratories and lived in closed towns. The main thing that had to know the country is that the USSR - nuclear powerable to confront the most terrible enemy.

In 2006, the presidential decree was scheduled for September 4, as professional holiday those who came nuclear shield Fatherland over the years. In this September day, 1947 in the Soviet Union was created by the specialty for managing the tests of weapons of a new type. It was not another priest of Stalin Secretary General. Nuclear weapons for the country of Soviets were acute necessity, because the United States has shown a monstrious force to the whole world for two years ago, dropping the bombs on the city of Japan. Comrade Stalin managed to preserve the most imperturbable appearance, bringing American leaders to the erroneous idea that no one understands in the USSR, which is nuclear weapons.



In fact, research on the formation of atomic energy from the split uranium by Soviet physicists was conducted for a long time. In the conditions of the hardest war in 1942, the Academy of Sciences begins to develop urgently, but the test of the first Soviet atomic bomb was accomplished only in 1949. The consequences of the explosion at the Semipalatinsk landfill were in shock of representatives of the Government and the Armed Forces of the USSR. The explosive wave destroyed everything in a radius of 1 km, leaving behind the monstrous dose of radiation.

Starting from the mid-20th century, the two superpowers of the USSR and the United States enter into an irreconcilable battle for the nuclear championship, called the "Armion Race". Soon the Soviet Union shook global community The invention of thermonuclear and hydrogen weapons was developed an intercontinental ballistic missile.

The braking of the nuclear race occurred only by the 90s, the tragedy at the Chernobyl NPP played a major role in this. Friendly, states reduce the cost of nuclear tests, the disposal program is launched in the US atomic weapons. Glasnosts were provided with facts on environmental damage caused by nature, human health and even the ozone layer of the Earth.

On the this moment Russia has incredible military Poweraccumulated in the years of the Soviet Power. Complete control over the preservation and safety of mighty atomic potential. This responsibility fully falls on specialists in the field of nuclear security, whose difficult labor is marked by the commemorative date of September 4.


On September 4, in Russia, the day of a nuclear security specialist is celebrated annually - a memorable day, which was established on the basis of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 31, 2006 "On the establishment of professional holidays and memorial Dat. In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. " The memorable day is celebrated on September 4, on the anniversary of the education of the Special Department under the General Staff of the USSR Sun (September 4, 1947), which was entrusted with the guidance of testing nuclear. Nowadays, the successor of the Special Department is the 12th Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the storage, operation and protection of our country's nuclear waters.

In August 1947 for the Ministry of Defense Soviet Union tasks were assigned to organize and build a nuclear landfill, as well as conducting tests on it nuclear weaponsStudy agrowing factors new weapons. For the practical implementation of these tasks, on September 4, 1947, the Special Department of the General Staff of the USSR, was formed - the first structural subdivision In our military department, which was engaged in nuclear weapons.

The work on the creation of the Soviet atomic bomb was attracted both atomic industry specialists and military specialists. The task of the Special Department of the General Staff of the USSR was the preparation and conduct of the first tests of the atomic bomb. The main outcome of the activities of the department was the creation of the famous Semipalatinsky nuclear landfill, on which on August 29, 1949, was held successful test The first Soviet atomic bomb. This explosion put an end to the American monopoly on nuclear weapons.

The successful test of the first Soviet atomic bomb became a triumph not only for specialists of the military department, but also for all nuclear scientists led by Academician Igor Vasilyevich Kurchatov, as well as the chief designer KB-11 Julia Borisovich Khariton. And the sevenpalatinsky test landfill built specifically for these tests existed until August 29, 1991, the last explosion on it was carried out on October 19, 1989. In total, in the Soviet Union from August 29, 1949, 715 different were held nuclear tests. The last explosion thundered at the landfill, located on the archipelago New Earth, October 24, 1990.

On September 20, 1949, the Special Department of the General Staff of the USSR Armed Forces was renamed the 6th management of the General Staff of the USSR. The management involved in the coordination of all research works in the country in the field of creating atomic weapons, the development of special requirements for combat use Armed Forces under application probable opponent nuclear weapons, as well as conducting and coordinating the tests of nuclear weapons conducted in the USSR and control over the activities of special departments in the types of the country's armed forces.

By March 1, 1951, the atomic arsenal of the Soviet Union has already numbered 15 atomic bombs RDS-1. These bombs were stored on the territory of the special "nuclear facility No. 550" (CB No. 11) in the repository prepared for these purposes. At the same time, the bombs were kept here in a disassembled state, component parts and nodes for atomic bombs were also kept in ground reinforced concrete reinforced land storage facilities. By January 1, 1952, 35 atomic bombs were held here. In the future, the arsenal of the Soviet atomic weapons seriously increased, the means of delivering nuclear weapons. Currently, 527 deployed nuclear weapons are located as part of the strategic nuclear forces of the Russian Federation: ballistic missiles submarine, intercontinental ballistic missiles and heavy strategic bombersEquipped with 1444 nuclear waters. According to the data at the end of 2017, the equipment of Russian strategic nuclear forces modern armament It is high enough and estimated at 79 percent.


Semipalatinsky test landfill

At the same time, nuclear support specialists were engaged not only by solving military issues. Other trials fell on their share, for example, military servicemen took part in the permission of the Caribbean crisis, which put the world on the edge of the abyss and possible nuclear war between the US and the USSR, as well as in the elimination of the effects of terrible technogenic accident At the Chernobyl NPP, which led to evacuation from the places of its permanent residence of more than 115 thousand people who were forced to leave the 30-kilometer zone of alienation around the emergency nuclear power plant.

A very serious test of the professionalism of specialists of the 12th General Department, as well as its entire system, was the redeployment of the USSR nuclear watember from states of Eastern Europe And the neighboring countries back to Russia in the early 1990s. It should be noted that nuclear weapons got the Russian Federation to the inheritance from the USSR, including the arsenals that were exported from the territories of the three former Soviet republics: Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. Currently, all nuclear weapons of the country are managed by the 12th Chief Department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. On the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union (1989-1991), 12 Gumo conducted an operation to return tactical nuclear weapons from the territory of countries Warsaw Treaty, as well as the republics of Central Asia and the Transcaucasus. And already in 1992-1996, the export of nuclear weapons was successfully carried out on the objects of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation from the territory of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.

Given the importance and importance of solved tasks to ensure the types and genera of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation by various nuclear ammunition, at the turn of the XX and XXI centuries, nuclear-technical support was translated from the technical level of the strategic type of provision. Nowadays, the 12th Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reliably ensures the safety of operation and storage of the Russian nuclear Arsenal, as well as control and compliance with the agreement on the comprehensive prohibition of nuclear testing.

On September 4, all those who have dedicated their lives of the nuclear provision of the Armed Forces are celebrated on September 4: high-level specialists, people of special state confidence. The servicemen of the 12th Chief Department of the Ministry of Defense of Russia (Gumo RF) have made a huge contribution to the implementation of the Soviet Atomic Project, as well as the creation and improvement of the nuclear arsenal of our Motherland, maintaining Russia's nuclear deterrent forces at the level of high modern requirements and standards.

For the years, which were held after conducting the first tests of the atomic bomb at the Semipalatinsk polygon, the exploitation of tens of thousands of various nuclear ammunition was ensured, millions of different technological operations with them were fulfilled. All this was done with the strictest observance of safety principles when handling expensive and deadly technique. This very brightly demonstrates us the reliability and security of the available nuclear containment arsenal, the effectiveness of its operation systems, and also confirms convincingly. high level Responsibility and professionalism of specialists of the 12th Main Department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

4 September " Military Review"Congratulates specialists in the Nuclear Provision of Russia, existing employees of the 12th Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Russia and Veterans who served in this manual and the Special Department of the General Staff of the USSR Sun, with their professional holiday.

Yuferev Sergey

Almost every profession has a significant day. This kind of good tradition and people who workers in one of the most dangerous, complex and strategically important areas of the nuclear industry are not bypassed. Let's get acquainted with the Nuclear Security Specialist Day. And let's start with the date of it.

When is the celebration?

September 4 - the day of a specialist in nuclear security. The tradition appeared not so long ago - in 2006, according to a special decree of the president.

The choice of the date was not necessary - precisely then, in such a distant for today 1947, a specialty was created at the General Staff of the USSR Armed Forces. His main mission was the creation and test of nuclear weapons. The department exists today - this is the 12th chief management of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Why and the day of a specialist in nuclear support in Russia is a current holiday.

Traditions of the holiday

What is traditional held on this day? Of course, warm congratulations are heard, words of gratitude to all anything involved in the nuclear military industry. From colleagues and bosses, relatives and loved ones, russian government and the public.

But congratulations on the day of a specialist in nuclear security, festive events - That's not all. On this day, veterans must also be visited and honored, and also recall all victims of accidents and accidents in the industry.

Moving short excursion In the past, to assess the significance of the Nuclear Specialist Day - in the history of the Soviet development, and then the Russian nuclear industry.

As we said, the main goal The Soviet Atomic Department was the creation of its own atomic weapons, which would deprive the US monopoly on it. A team of talented nuclear specialists led by Honored Academician USSR Igor Kurchatov, as well as the KB-11 design institute under Julius Hyriton, was attracted to the embodiment of the task. The latter successfully continues its activities and today, under the name of the Russian Federal Nuclear Center for the All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics - RFSA VNIIEF in the Sarov of the Nizhny Novgorod region.

It is impossible not to mention the creation of the first nuclear landfill - Semipalatinsky in the Soviet Union, located in the territory of modern Kazakhstan (closed in 1991). It was here that the test of the first atomic nature of the bomb in the USSR was happening - August 29, 1949. Dedicated Day Specialist in nuclear support Pictures-postcard often reflect this event.

Creating the 6th Management

On September 20 of the same year, the specialties received the name of the 6th department of the General Staff of the USSR. His tasks were as follows:

  • Coordination of scientific and research work.
  • Development of instructions for the use of atomic weapons in the case of using an opponent.
  • Control over the activities of specialties, one way or another involved in nuclear weapons.

We will get acquainted with the historical statistics of the management activities:

  • 1951 - in the Atomic Arsenal of the USSR there were 15 Bombs RDS-1. In disassembled state, they were stored in the territory secret object №550 (CB No. 11).
  • 1952 - the number of domestic atomic bombs increased to 35.
  • An interesting fact - from 08/29/1949 to 10/24/1990 (the last test - on the new land) 715 atomic tests were conducted!

12th humum

In 1958, on the basis of the chief management of the special design of the Ministry of Defense of the Union, the 12th head of the USSR MO was formed. It has become a central body that coordinates military nuclear policies and generally engaged in the country's nuclear support. The 6th control has become its component.

The tasks of the 12th Gumo were the following:

  • Control over the development and production of nuclear weapons by the forces of military specials.
  • Providing tests of atomic weapons.
  • Storage and operation of nuclear ammunition.
  • Strict record of the elements of atomic weapons.
  • Both the planning of supplies and the transportation of the components of the YAB on the storage base.
  • Replacing the expiration date component parts A new type of weapon.

In the same year, the 12th Gumo became part of the newly created type of the USSR Sun - RVSN, rocket forces strategy. In 1974, it was derived from submission to the commander-in-chief of these troops and translated under the subordination of the Ministry of Defense.

Tragedy at the Chernobyl NPP

No one day of the nuclear security specialist in Russia does not pass without memories of the victims of the Chernobyl tragedy. Soviet state did not dismount this cruel history lesson:

  • An atomic security inspection was created within the Ministry of Defense - to tighten the control over compliance with safety regulations.
  • Training and creating professional brigades of rescuers under the leading of the 12th management.

Stages of development of the 12th management

Talking about the bottom of a nuclear security specialist, it is impossible not to note the three positives from the humanistic position of the step of activity of 12 Gumo:

  1. Conclusion in 1989-1991. Atomic tactical weapons From land states of the Warsaw Treaty, as well as the former Soviet republics of Transcaucasia and the central part of Asia. In 1992-1996 The same fate suffered the Yabs located in Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belarus. All operations were produced quickly, without accidents, losses, violations of international nuclear safety requirements.
  2. The 12th Gumo becomes the keeper of the entire nuclear security of the country. So, among other things, in its structure is the central test polygon, nuclear parts for the Air Force, Navy.
  3. The decade of reforms (starting from the mid-90s and 2009) led to the centralization of the management system of nuclear support. This was the reason for increasing the efficiency of all its components.

Modern nuclear security of the Russian Federation

In his professional celebration, the day of a nuclear security specialist, workers in this industry there is something to be proud - the strategic nuclear forces of the country are at the very modern level. We are talking about mobile and stationary ballistic intercontinental rockets, aviation, marine nuclear weapons and their carriers.

Modern functions of the 12th Gumo are the following:

  • Complete security of both storage and use of atomic weapons in the country.
  • Control over compliance with the contract of 1996 - on the full prohibition of nuclear testing.

The complex is developing in the framework of the state program of weapons and target programs of the federal level:

  • Ensuring the safety of nuclear technologies developed by Russian scientists.
  • Preservation of personnel, scientific potential "Rosatom".
  • Strengthening the nuclear Russian "shield".

September 4 - a landmark day and for the 12th Gumo, and for everyone, anyone involved in atomic history Our Fatherland. The work of the worker of this sphere is difficult to overestimate, it is so difficult, responsible and dangerous. After all, the specialist nuclear does not have the right even for the slightest mistake, which we learned the story.
