An important date for the entire world community is approaching – August 29 – the day of the closure of the Semipalatinsk test site - the International Day against Nuclear Tests.
After the closure of the test site, our country chose the right decision – the atom should serve only for peaceful purposes. Today, 32 years later, anywhere in the world, when talking about the Semipalatinsk test site, we hear not only “nuclear explosions”, “tests”, but to a greater extent – “peaceful atom”, “scientific research”, “safety”, “nuclear energy”. And this is the result of the activities of one of the leading scientific enterprises in Kazakhstan – the National Nuclear Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
At the stage of creation in 1992, the company was tasked, as a result, a tremendous amount of work was carried out at the highest scientific and technical level, which allowed Kazakhstan not only to achieve competencies in the field of ensuring the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, but also the development of the country’s scientific potential in the field of peaceful uses of atomic energy. Particularly significant results in the development of nuclear and thermonuclear energy have been obtained in recent years.
