Nuclear Industry Worker Day in Russia

Nuclear industry workers have a lot to be proud of. They perform the difficult task of maintaining plants, developing new technologies, and monitoring production efficiency at nuclear power plants. Of course, a separate holiday should have been dedicated to these people, when we can all express our gratitude for their feat. Their work can be called a feat because it involves a risk to life. And they take risks for the sake of all the inhabitants of our country. There are 10 operating nuclear power plants in Russia. And by 2030, the government plans to launch another 8 nuclear power plants. Tens of thousands of people work for them. It is for their sake that the President of the Russian Federation, V.V. Putin, in June 2005, issued a decree on the basis of which the Day of Nuclear Industry Workers was established in Russia. The professional holiday of nuclear workers has a prehistory. Its roots go back to the USSR. On September 28, 1942 the document was published. It contained instructions for the Academy of Sciences to create new weapons based on uranium. This order marked the beginning of the development of the nuclear industry. It was thanks to the developments of the Academy that the USSR was able to surpass the United States in new weapons. Thanks to nuclear scientists, we can live in peace, without expecting an attack by other powers on our Motherland. Without scientists studying the properties of atoms, developing methods of using them in combat operations and in peaceful life, there would, of course, be no holiday. They are also necessarily honored on this day. On September 28, the government must sincerely congratulate nuclear power plant workers and nuclear scientists. It cannot be done without presenting state awards for services to the country and people. And rightly so. A nuclear industry worker can be called a man with a capital M. Thanks to nuclear scientists, Soviet and current, our country can consider itself a great Nuclear Power. But it’s not just weapons that nuclear workers can be proud of. At nuclear power plants they receive energy that is important for ordinary people, which enters our homes every day and warms us in the cold winter. Nuclear industry enterprises also congratulate their employees and present certificates and diplomas for responsibility, hard work and dedication to the profession. The main task of nuclear industry workers, in their opinion, is to ensure that the atom remains peaceful forever. They adopted this motto many years ago.
