During 2011/2012 academic year JSC NIAEP will pay a monthly allowance of 5 000 RUR to each of the students. The scholarship holders are 5th year students of Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (NNSUACE), pertaining to its two subdivisions – Institute of Civil Engineering and Institute of Environmental Engineering Systems & Structures. 19 senior students of NNSUACE applied for the scholarship. The academic council of the University considered the students who have had high grades during all the years of study, who have conducted research work, have won prizes at scientific conferences and contests and have had work practice in NIAEP. In accordance with the developed screening procedure the applicants did tasks in writing, participated in business games, related to nuclear topics, and were interviewed by NIAEP managers and chief specialists. On 27th January, Yury Ivanov, first deputy director at JSC NIAEP, officially announced the names of the winners.

History of our Time”, a documentary produced by the television team of KNPP public information center. Kalinin power unit 4 was commissioned in 2011. At the end of November, power program was started at the unit, JSC NIAEP being designer and prime contractor in the project. Then Yury Ivanov told the students about the activities of JSC NIAEP. “Last year JSC NIAEP marked its 60th anniversary. During these years the design institute has evolved into an EPC-company. Since 2007 we not only design nuclear power plants, but we also build them on the “turnkey” basis in Russia and abroad. For over 10 years we have been deploying innovative technologies which help the company to be a leader in engineering not only in Russia but also in the world, said Yury Ivanov, - The young people, who are eager to work in NIAEP, should be ready to master new technologies and to adapt themselves in a team in order to become full-scale engineers in three months”. Pozdyshev scholarship holders for the 2011/2012 academic year are: Olga Ryabova, Elena Sousyaeva and Anna Toumanova, five-year students of NNSUACE Institute of Civil Engineering (specializing in industrial and civil engineering) and Ivan Bocharnikov and Inna Marutina, five-year students of NNSUACE Institute of Environmental Engineering Systems & Structures (specializing in HVAC). “Atomic” scholarships are granted to NNSUACE students within the framework of Cooperation Agreement between Nizhny Novgorod Engineering Company “Atomenergoproekt” and Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering. The agreement was signed at an official ceremony. It also covers target training of specialists for NIAEP, externship and internship for NNSUACE students at NIAEP, engagement of NIAEP chief specialists in elaborating and delivering new courses of lectures, supplying NIAEP-specific equipment for laboratories and employment of the best students of the university. “Open strategic partnership is very important for our university”, Pr. Evgeny Koposov, head of NNSUACE says, “During recent years you’ve made a real breakthrough having become an EPC - company. To prepare specialists for a company of such corporate culture the educational level of students needs to be continuously improved and our partnership will contribute to it in many ways”. NNSUACE is the second higher educational establishment that officially cooperates with JSC NIAEP. Since 2010 “atomic” scholarships have been granted to students of R.Y. Alekseev Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University. In this period 20 senior students of the university have become scholarship holders and 10 of them have been employed at NIAEP.
