Ural Federal University Bags Nine Prizes At Rosenergoatom’s Contest

Representatives of the Ural Federal University were awarded nine prizes in the annual competition for individual scholarships and grants to students and professors of the Rosenergoatom Corporation in the field of nuclear engineering. The funds received will be used for research in the field of development of nuclear power plants and renewable energy sources.

The awards were given to Sergey Shcheklein, Head of the Department of Nuclear Power Plants and Renewable Energy Sources, Professors Vladimir Velkin and Oleg Tashlykov, and six senior students: Ilya Bessonov, Sergey Chalpanov, Anna Breusova, Danil Korablev, Maksim Smykov and Denis Samburskikh. Three of the six prize-winning students have already secured internships at the Beloyarsk NPP.

“The Beloyarsk NPP and Rosatom pay great attention to systematic work to develop the potential of students and young specialists. The nuclear power plant is always open to the employment of graduates in the core areas. For example, last year 14 students from the Department of Nuclear Power Plants and Renewable Energy Sources had internships at Beloyarsk NPP and 15 graduates were hired,” said Ivan Sidorov, Director of Beloyarsk NPP.

The winners were selected by Rosenergoatom’s Competition Commission, which consisted of the company’s senior managers.
