In the upcoming months, several students of "Atom-class" in school number 1 in Zarechny (Sverdlovsk region) will go on the profile shift in the Russian Children's Center "Eaglet", where, in addition to the general education curriculum, will be engaged in applied research and technical creativity. This was said by the director of the school Natalia Mokeenko at the ceremony.

Representatives of the Beloyarsk NPP, in turn, invited the "atom-graders" to participate in the competition training and research "Open Kurchatov Lectures", which in 2015 will be dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the successful operation of the power reactor BN-600, the 70th anniversary of Victory in World War II and the 70th anniversary of the Russian nuclear industry.

The School number 1 has been the base platform and partner of the Beloyarsk NPP in conducting this competition for eleven years. High school students also talked about the prospects of work at the nuclear facilities and career opportunities of young professionals in program "Talents Rosatom".

Opening of the "Atom-class" took place in Zarechny within the project "School Rosatom", held on April 8, 2014, day of the anniversary of the power unit with BN-600 reactor start-up.

The Beloyarsk nuclear power plant was entered into work in April, 1964. It is the first nuclear power plant in big nuclear power of the country, and unique with reactors of different types on one platform. The first power units of the Beloyarsk nuclear power plant with reactors on thermal neutrons of AMB-100 and AMB-200 are stopped in connection with resource development. In operation there is the unique power unit in the world with the reactor on fast neutrons of an industrial power level of BN-600. In the stage of construction there is a power unit with the reactor on fast neutrons of BN-800. Power units on fast neutrons are urged to expand significantly fuel base of nuclear power and to minimize radioactive waste at the expense of the organization of the closed nuclear and fuel cycle.  Current information about a radiation situation near the nuclear power plant in Russia and other objects of the nuclear industry is provided on a site www.russianatom.ru.
