Resumo
The name of the outstanding Soviet physicist, Igor Vasilyevich Kurchatov, is known not only in Russia, but also far beyond its borders. Knowledge about him is mainly related to his scientific leadership of the domestic nuclear project. He is one of the nine thrice Heroes of Socialist Labor of the Soviet Union. However, few people know that his main practical results of scientific developments were translated into real industrial production on the Ural land. In addition, his childhood years are connected with the Southern Urals, as well as the years of scientific leadership of the firstborn of the nuclear industry in the Urals — plant No. 817, now the Mayak Production Association. The presented scientific article is prepared for the 120th anniversary of the birth of an outstanding Soviet nuclear scientist, who was the head of the implementation of the uranium problem in the Soviet Union. He was one of the first in the world to identify the possibility of releasing energy of colossal power as a result of fission of the atomic nucleus and implemented them in the creation of the first domestic nuclear weapons, and then participated in the development of technologies for the use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes. I.V.Kurchatov scientific work in the Urals is reflected fragmentally in the published literature. This statement requires more detailed research, systematization and coverage in a scientific publication.
