Demagnetization

At the beginning of 1940, the research program outlined by Kurchatov

was interrupted, and instead of nuclear physics, he began to develop systems for the demagnetization of warships. The installation created by his employees helped protect warships from German magnetic mines.

Fulfilled their obligations

Kurchatov and his brother Boris built a uranium-graphite

boiler in their Laboratory No. 2, where they received the first weighted portions of plutonium. On August 29, 1949, physicists, the creators of the bomb, saw a blinding light and a mushroom-shaped cloud leaving for the stratosphere, breathed a sigh of relief. They fulfilled their obligations.

August 29, 1949

August 29 is International Day against Nuclear Tests.

For

the first test of the Soviet atomic bomb in 1949, the American design was chosen, although the original Soviet was already ready. The reason for this decision was as follows. It was already known about the successful application of the American scheme, and the Soviet one had not yet been worked out. It was impossible to make mistakes. Leading the project, L. Beria has repeatedly threatened scientists that, if unsuccessful, he will "wipe them into camp dust." Not without reason, when the first test of the Soviet atomic bomb was successfully carried out, L. Beria, who was present at it, hugged and kissed I.V. Kurchatova and pointedly said at the same time: "It would be a great misfortune if it did not work out."

H-bomb

Almost four years later, on the morning of August 12, 1953,

before the sunrise, an explosion rang out over the landfill. The successful test of the world's first hydrogen bomb has passed.

Already during the first tests of the hydrogen bomb, I.V. Kurchatov was horrified by the destruction she had inflicted and seriously thought about banning nuclear weapons: “it was such a terrible, monstrous sight! We must not allow these weapons to be used.”

February 1960

In February 1960, Kurchatov arrived at the Barvikha sanatorium to

visit his friend Academician Yu. B. Khariton. Crouching on the bench, they spoke, a pause arose, and when Khariton looked at Kurchatov, he was already dead. Death occurred due to a heart embolism with a blood clot.

Kurchatov’s favorite word was “I understand.” It was he who became the last in his mouth.
