Description: 
This institute was originally called the Laboratory of Measuring 
Instruments. After 1953, it was renamed the Moscow Physical Institute. 
It next became known as the Institute of Atomic Energy and was headed 
by Academician I. V. Kurchatov. Upon his death, the Institute was given 
his name. 
Soviet thermonuclear research had its beginning here, and much of 
the Soviet work in the field is still centered at this institute, which 
has the Ogra and Orekh plasma installations. The IRT-1000 nuclear reactor 
is also located here; it has enabled the Institute to undertake projects 
such as studies of the effects of radiation on materials and the development 
of radiation shielding for the atomic icebreaker Lenin. The Institute 
assisted in the design and construction of the nuclear reactor for the 
Georgian S.S.R. and the atomic power plant for Czechoslovakia. Other
