Competition Conference for the young scientists and specialists, 16th-18th of May 16th of May, 2018

It became a good tradition to run competitions of scientific works among the young specialists of the National Nuclear Center of RK. From one year to another the interest grows among the participants to obtain reward in fundamental, applied, engineering and technical area of the competition. In total from the 16^th to the 18^th of May 43 competitors took part in the competition. These competitors were not only the National Nuclear Center of RK  but also young scientists and specialists from  the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Institute of Geophysical Researches, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, D. Serikbayev East-Kazakhstan State Technical University, S. Amanzholov East Kazakhstan State University and Semey State University named after Shakarim (Semey) have submitted their works for considering by the competent juri. In course of three-day conference the participants were not only defending their competitive projects, but also they obtained new experience in leading  scholarly dispute and shared collected experience. Young scientists and specialists are also attracted to take part in the R&D Conference by informal and friendly format of the conference and, of course by interesting leisure programme. This year upon the results of the competition, six participants took top places, four more young scientists got prize for the best formulation, originality of work, active participation in the competition and extraordinary declamatory skills. In the last day of the conference the participants were awarded on 15 additional nominations, that became a good surprise for them. Works of all the participants will be published in the journal «Bulletin of the NNC RK». Winners of the XVII R&D Competition Conference for the young scientists and specialists of the NNC RK are: 1^st place Pavel Yevgenievich Krivitskiy , engineer of the Department of Radioecological Studies and Ecosystems Restoration of the Branch «Institute of Radiation Safety and Ecology» for the work called «Development of the technique for rehabilitation of radioactively contaminated objects at «Sary-Uzen» site» — applied researches. 2^nd place Olga Sergeyevna Bukina, engineer of the Laboratory for Testing Constructional and Fuel Materials of the Department for Engineering  Tests of the branch «Institute of Atomic Energy» of the RSE NNC RK for the work called «X-ray diffractionoal research of graphite in LEU-fuel of IGR reactor» — engineering and technical researches.
