The Russian nuclear icebreaker fleet.
LJ user sergey-partizan writes: A month ago I visited with a visit to Murmansk icebreaker "Lenin", where we lived, and "50 Years of Victory", which often rolls tourists to the North Pole. Honestly, I was struck by the power and uniqueness of the nuclear fleet and "uranium" core of people who have dedicated their lives to it. It is thanks to them that we have something on that they can not other countries.

1. First of all, at the airport, remembering their old rule that almost any city in Russia where I was, there is someone to call, sit down, "the machine." After ten minutes it turns out that in Murmansk my cousin lives, and more than that, she is married to a senior assistant captain of the atomic icebreaker "Yamal". In general, I am in some way involved, but more on that later.
2. Arriving at AL "Lenin" about an hour of the night, we met Constantine I think the boatswain, who was on duty that night showed us an icebreaker. Actually it started with the cordiality with which we were received, but it was unusual pervosti. The feeling of getting into a fairy tale began with a cabin, the interior of which remained 51 years. In these cabins we spent three nights soaked polar life and history.

4. For these corridors thirty years moved a crew of 243 people. They worked in the Arctic, composed songs, loved to play KVN, made our history.
5. Now from windows "Lenin" seen sea port of Murmansk. The world's first nuclear-powered icebreaker serves as a museum and the Center for Public Information of Rosatom in Murmansk. It held the event, corporate parties, concerts. Once in kayutkompanii "Lenin" Pazmutova first sang the song "Tired submarine," which became a hit in those years. Still on board were also noted in the Journal of Yuri Gagarin, Fidel Castro, Richard Nixon and other "high" person.

7. Back-up boiler. Even then, ice-breakers were designed not only to avoid duplication, but also several options for their implementation.
8. As already mentioned, the interior is preserved from the time of launch, that is, 1959. Throughout the finishing used Karelian birch, very common electro-mechanical watches. For the safety of the interior should be thanking the second captain, "Lenin" Kravchuk Boris Sokolov after decommissioning in 1989, he together with the XO over 10 years to maintain the state of the icebreaker, ie they have it washed, cleaned, heated and so, Boris Makarovich even died on the way to the icebreaker.

13. Despite the fact that the icebreaker is now forever is at the berth he has the captain - Alexander Barinov. His way he started on the submarine "Arctic", which was distributed in 1978. As befits a captain, he lives on the ship. In the morning he took us in his cabin, talked about the rigors of life and romance sailor. With him, I understand, but when meeting with other captains made sure that the fleet is kept in the captain's charisma. If necessary, the captain of the icebreaker can go on an ice floe and take the rope in his teeth and drag all by yourself, with the crew of silence will do the same, but our fleet and provided all that is required.
14. Model of the second version of the reactor facility. Since "Lenin" was the first version of the nuclear-powered icebreaker and a lot of knowledge and technology at the time could not yet exist, could not avoid two serious accidents. The first was in 1965, and after the second in 1967. The reactor facility was flooded near the New Earth and its place was taken by the current version of all the modifications and taking into account of previous problems. That's the price of modern excellence in the Arctic.
15. Well, we're still on the movies and cartoons know that the captain of the table should be a model ship in our case, this is a more modern icebreaker. Kam see, it has a helipad, it is an absolutely all icebreakers, helicopters though now almost ceased to be used, because they are needed for the study of the operational situation and the state of the ice on the road, at least for the delivery personnel. Now all the information transmitted by the satellite.
16. Continuing familiarity with the icebreaker. Multi-room-dining room-cinema auditorium. We ate in two shifts since It had a lot of people. The edges of the table rose to dish does not fall when rocking. Actually there were competitions of bard songs and other amateur. Well, no portrait of Lenin, too, anywhere.

19. You may ask, how can that be, if the ship shakes? In many places, there is an element here, it clings to the chair or table, which also have the appropriate hardware.
20. The first engine room of the reactor facility. Do not reserve, they were just two. Two reactors, four turbines, two on the reactor. Ie almost any breakages could walk on their own. Given that one reactor charge enough for 3-5 years, the survival vessel can superabsorbent.
21. Corridors lower decks. With a total length of 134 meters is where to walk.
22. If the nuclear reactor control room called the control room, the Navy is PCO. This is embodied in such a plan engineered the Atomic 50s. Now this is a huge plasma display all kinds of sensors and so on. But at that time even a visualization of the state of the power plant has been fantastic!

27. Warning! The work of setting up the next camera. She moved and approach the image. Remember, this is 50s.
28.
29.
30.
31. In addition to the various indicators have been printed, and the device that captured different parameters over time. Then copy the text on a typewriter.
32.
33. The MCC present visual aids for the life-saving systems. Everything to be on hand for the surgery, if necessary.
34.
35.
36. The second machine room. Two turbine generators. This is the back part of the ship.
37. There are at "Lenin" and a museum at the museum, which collected the crew in different years. Here and mammoth bones, and various awards and banner.
38.
39. The prototype of the first radiometers and dosimeters.
40. The medical unit of the icebreaker. Since Flights have been away from civilization, the necessary operations made on board. Qualification of doctors allowed, but, if necessary, was delivered on board the appropriate doctor. The medical unit has a room for tests, operating theater, x-rays and dental office. But the dentist attended in shifts scheduled, more ships cruised by.
41.
42.
43.
44. Polar Day in Murmansk. More precisely it is even noon, because "Day" lasts more than 4 hours at this time of year.
45.
46. AL "Yamal" on maintenance. The one with the mouth to the nose. Regarding the mouth is an interesting tale, without going into details, it caused are drunk. Then it was washed, but the governor ordered the return, as fall has become a symbol of Murmansk
47.
48.
49. The width of the ship is 27 meters. There where carousing. Even the coast icebreaker striking grandeur.
50.
51. Incidentally, the first captain of the "Lenin" - Paul Akimovich Ponomarev, was an experienced sailor, for which he was actually appointed to the newest ship of those times. Then he was for 63 years. So, he was captain of the old school, and commanded a ship directly from the outside of the bridge! Ie Arctic ice in the cold and wind. Actually it was his dobilo and, in 1970, he left us.
