What time is it, comrade? | thebulletin.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) In contrast, Arzamas set its clock all the way back to 20 minutes to midnight, because the Soviet Union's test of a nuclear weapon ended the U.S. nuclear monopoly. Now set at 17 minutes to midnight, the Arzamas clock is described as having had a total of nine settings over the years. The best setting ever, according to Arzamas, was 2000, when its clock hands were moved all the way back to 11 p.m. www.thebulletin.org /article.php?art_ofn=jf03flynn_010   (386 words)

Chair/division "Electronics design and equipment"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Engineering profession 200800 "Electronics design and technology" is very important for Russian Federation allowing a person who mastered it to see his/her capabilities fulfilled to the full and to occupy highly important positions in production, managerial and scientific branches of national economy.

ESA Portal - Focus On - What puts the “Advanced” in Envisat’s Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar? The city appears bright yellow because backscatter is equally high in VV and HH polarisation. In the centre of the image the banks of a large river system, probably frozen, are highlighted in cyan (HH backscatter dominates). Visible in the north is the lower part of the Gorkovskoye Reservoir, formed by a dam across the Volga River, Europe’s longest. www.esa.int /esaCP/ESAZGOG18ZC_FeatureWeek_3.html   (517 words)

Document 33   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Arzamas was not given advance notice of the dispatch of this party. At the Arzamas ITD (Ispravitel'no-Trudovoi Dom [Reformatory]) at this moment repairs were being done, and for this reason the children could not be domiciled and had to be sent on to the Nizhni Novgorod FZTK (Fabrichno-Zavodskaia Trudovaia Koloniia [Factory and Workshop Labor Colony]) which was already filled beyond capacity. But the situation was made considerably more complicated by the fact that, except for the 20 April resolution, no documents and decisions had been sent saying why the minors had been taken into custody and how long their term was. www.yale.edu /annals/siegelbaum/English_docs/Siegelbaum_doc_33.htm   (482 words)

[No title] The scientists at Arzamas actually had developed a significantly advanced version in parallel, but tested the Trinity copy because they did not want to fail. Therefore, in response to a poll taken at Arzamas by Dr. Reis, the Russians proved to be much more skeptical about the prospects of being able to do the nuclear weapons job with a science-based approach without nuclear testing. But the "60" was considered too sensitive, and the number was changed to "16." One should point out, of course, that officially the entire city of Sarov (Arzamas-16) disappeared from all official Russian maps and was not acknowledged to exist until 1994. www.lanl.gov /orgs/pa/Director/071296.html   (1452 words)

Arzamaz Machine-Building Plant On July the 4th, 1957, the Council of Ministers of the USSR ratified the disposition to build a plant in Arzamas for producing spare parts. In 1983 the company was renamed to "The Arzamas automobile plant of the GAZ group company". At the border of the 80's and 90's the collaboration of Gorky and Arzamas specialists resulted in the development of civil variants of the APC. www.globalsecurity.org /military/world/russia/amz.htm   (516 words)

Stora Enso - Jukka Härmälä (06/04) The importance of expertise is also reflected in the need for continuous research at national and company level. The inauguration of this packaging board mill at Arzamas today demonstrates our confidence that in these respects Russia can fulfil its key role in Stora Enso's long-term strategy in Europe. It is very important to us that we are regarded as a good corporate citizen of the locality, and that is the principle we are applying here today in Arzamas. www.storaenso.com /CDAvgn/main/0,,1_-5564-12249-,00.html   (766 words)

IBM unit pleads guilty on illegal computer sale to Russia In a plea-bargain pact before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, IBM agreed with federal prosecutors that IBM East Europe/Asia (IEEA) sold 17 RS/6000 computers to go-betweens acting on behalf of Arzamas-16, a "non-civil" nuclear laboratory operated by the Russian Federal Nuclear Center, according to court documents which IBM made available. Arzamas was doing research and testing on nuclear explosive devices. IEEA has received a two-year suspension of export privileges, but after pledging that it will not sell computers for military or nuclear use, has been put on probation, during which it will be allowed to export computers, IBM said. www.networkworld.com /news/0803commerce.html   (550 words)

Gaidar, A.P. - SovLit.com - Encyclopedia of Soviet Authors In 1912, when Arkday was 8 years old, the family moved to Arzamas.

Arkady himself was also drawn to the Bolsheviks and helped the local Arzamas organization as a type of intelligence agent, gathering information on the streets and passing it on to the Party committee. www.sovlit.com /bios/gaidar.html   (1661 words)

Arzamas-16 Arzamas-16 is located on the lands of the former Sarov Monastery, 75 km south-west of Arzamas in the Nizhegorod region, approximately 400 km from Moscow. But the "60" was considered too sensitive, and the number was changed to "16." In 1947 the entire city of Sarov (Arzamas-16) disappeared from all official Russian maps and statistical documents. The results of this experiment can be used in fields such as plasma physics, high-pressure chemistry, microwave generation, astrophysics, and advanced electronics, as well as applied to help accomplish the goal of fusion power. www.globalsecurity.org /wmd/world/russia/arzamas_nuc.htm   (1841 words)

Sarov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1993, it became a sister city to Los Alamos, New Mexico, the site of the U.S. nuclear weapons design laboratory (Los Alamos National Laboratory, or LANL). Scientists from LANL and VNIIEF have cooperated on various arms control and nuclear safeguards programs, under which the Los Alamos scientists learned, to their amusement, that their Russian colleagues paid homage to their American rivals by irreverently calling their own laboratory "Los Arzamas." Boris Yeltsin changed the city's name to back Sarov after a formal request from residents in August 1995. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Arzamas-16   (684 words)

WISE NC; FORMER SOVIET UNION: A CHALLENGE FOR NON-PROLIFERATION REGIME   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Arzamas 16 is the main nuclear weapons laboratory. In return for Chetek's financial support, MAPI and Arzamas are working on Chetek's plan to market underground nuclear explosions as a means to dispose of such items as chemical and radioactive wastes, retired chemical weapons, decommissioned nuclear reactors and retired nuclear warheads (see box). While Commonwealth Foreign Ministry officials assert that the moratorium on nuclear testing announced by Gorbachev means a halt to all nuclear testing and the closure of the Arctic test site, Chetek and Arzamas officials maintain that the moratorium exempts "peaceful" nuclear explosions. www.agroeco.nl /~wise/365/3586.html   (1702 words)

Stora Enso - 05 Stora Enso has also approved an investment in a new corrugated board mill in Arzamas, a strategic market area with a high growth potential, some 500 km east of Moscow, Russia. The Balabanovo mill has proved very successful and its capacity will be in full use in 2003, so a new mill will be needed to serve growing market demand. The production capacity of the Arzamas mill will be 120 million m² and initially the new mill will employ about a hundred people. www.storaenso.com /CDAvgn/main/0,,1_-3420-4112-en,00.html   (241 words)

Cooperative monitoring The collaboration between Sandia and Arzamas evolved from an idea broached at a "smart containers" workshop hosted by the Cooperative Measures Program (5337) in Albuquerque in November 1996 and subsequently launched through a Container-to-Container field trial. The goal of this effort was for Sandia and Arzamas each to instrument an empty nuclear material container and display the information on the Internet's World Wide Web using a satellite communications system recently installed by DOE's Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention program. It is possible to log onto the Web site at http://132.175.176.83 and see live data from monitors on a container located inside the VNIIEF institute at Arzamas and a container at Sandia's Cooperative Monitoring Center in Albuquerque. www.sandia.gov /LabNews/LN01-30-98/monitor_story.html   (939 words)

How the bomb saved Soviet physics | thebulletin.org It was on the edge of a large forest preserve, which provided room for expansion; and it was a beautiful spot. The town--or rather the carefully guarded "zone," which included the town and the research and development establishments--became known as Arzamas-16, after the city of Arzamas, 60 kilometers to the north. There was a narrow-gauge railway line that ran from Arzamas to Sarov, but Altshuler made the last part of the journey by bus: www.thebulletin.org /article.php?art_ofn=nd94holloway   (6255 words)

Will U.S. Supercomputers Design Russian A-Bombs? Supercomputers are still the most powerful tool for developing both nuclear warheads and the missiles to carry them. The two Convex models for Arzamas would operate at 1,600 and 1,800 million operations per second and cost $1.5 and $2.6 million. Itar-Tass, the Russian news agency, reported last April that Arzamas was still developing new warhead designs using simulations, even though Russia has halted nuclear testing. www.wisconsinproject.org /countries/russia/willussupers.htm   (462 words)

BCSIA - Publication - The Nuclear Weapons Complexes: Meeting the Conversion Challenge -- A Proposal for Expanded Action The primary reasons given for this approach are the need to reduce the possibility of social problems and also to reduce the outflow of scientists who have specialized knowledge of military technologies. In June, Arzamas submitted further detail on some of these proposals and made additional suggestions for projects. These included the development of containers for the transportation and storage of silicon chips and the use of pulsed reactors and accelerometers to improve the safety of nuclear reactors. bcsia.ksg.harvard.edu /publication.cfm?program=CORE&ctype=book&item_id=127   (6225 words)
