Rosatom celebrates 80 years of pioneering nuclear energy innovation

Rosatom State Corporation marked its 80th anniversary on August 20, 2023. The milestone was celebrated with the 'Era of Dreamers' festival at Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, reflecting the company’s long-standing role in nuclear energy and innovation.

The origins of Rosatom trace back to August 20, 1945, when the Soviet Union formed the Special Committee and the First Main Directorate for Atomic Energy. Over the decades, the organisation became central to Russia’s nuclear advancements, from developing the country’s nuclear shield to building power plants, submarines, and icebreakers.

Rosatom’s anniversary highlights its enduring influence in nuclear energy, both in Russia and worldwide. The company’s history of technological progress continues to shape its ambitions, while competitors like UEC expand their own roles in the global market. The sector remains a focal point for innovation and strategic development.
