Nuclear Engineering Education National Research Nuclear University «MEPhI» Moscow, Russian Federation NRNU-MEPhI Mikhail Yu. Ternovykh IV Semana de Engenharia Nuclear 2014, August, 11-15 Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro MYTernovykh@mephi.ru 1

History MEPhI was founded during World War II in 1942 initially as Moscow Mechanical Institute of Ammunition by Stalin’s personal order. The main goal of its foundation was to collect brilliant minds together, train them and urgently start research in creation of nuclear weapon. Since the end of 50-th the main goal of Moscow Engineering Physics Institute is the people ware for developing of nuclear industry (research, engineering, technologies) 2
