Greetings to current and former workers of the nuclear industry

Vladimir Putin congratulated current and former workers of the nuclear industry on their professional holiday. The message reads, in part: “You rightfully take pride in the glorious history of the Russian nuclear industry, in the outstanding scientists and practitioners of this field who founded our nuclear project, in the many generations of their talented students and followers, and in their dedication and hard work that created the advanced production and energy sector, launched hundreds of new industrial facilities, research institutions and design bureaus, ensuring nuclear parity. Today, the workers of State Corporation Rosatom carefully preserve and multiply this unique legacy, successfully applying their wealth of experience, powerful intellectual potential and the innovative capabilities of the nuclear industry to strengthen the Russian economy and energy sector, to ensure our country's technological sovereignty, and to contribute to the implementation of breakthrough solutions in medicine and space, and prospective Arctic programmes. By expanding fundamental and applied research and taking modern approaches to its staffing policy, they lay a solid foundation for the industry’s further progress. I firmly believe that you will continue to successfully address the industry’s strategic tasks for the benefit of Russia and our citizens.”
