About the life and work of three Soviet nuclear physicists from one family --- brothers Alexander Ilyich and Ovsey Ilyich Leipunsky and their sisters of Dora Ilyinichna Leipunskaya. All three made a major contribution to the work on the atomic project of the USSR. Their names --- in the first secret list of orders awarded for a successful test of the Soviet atomic bomb in 1949
Academician of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine A.I. Lyipunsky stood at the head of the largest physical institutions in the USSR --- the Ukrainian Physical and Technical Institute in Kharkov, the Institute of Physics in Kiev and the Physics and Energy Institute in Obninsk. His group of physicists, the first in the USSR and the second in the world, managed to split the nuclear core, he put forward and implemented the concept of fast neutrons (brider) and a heat -expanded circuit with liquid metals, was the scientific director of the creation of energy nuclear reactors for the fleet and spacecraft. Professor O.I. Lypunsky (Institute of Chemical Physics) is the founder of the method of synthesis of diamonds, now used all over the world. He is one of the creators of the scientific and methodological base of the radiometry and dosimetry of penetrating radiation, the author (together with Ya.B. Zeldovich) theory of internal ballistics of reactive powder shells (“Katyush”), the developer of modern types of solid fuel for missiles. Professor D.I. Lyipunskaya --- Head of the Laboratory in the secret NII-9, where she was engaged in plutonium technology and dosimeters, and later-in the VNII of nuclear geochemistry and geophysics, developed a method of quantitative neutron-anxide analysis for exploration of minerals. It is also described about the famous scientists of the Stalin era: L.D. Landau, N.N. Semenov, F. Hoottermans, L.S. Polak and others.
For those interested in the history of science of the 20th century and, in particular, the atomic project of the USSR
