Rosatom Olympiad in India brought together 12 000 school children and students

On September 4-6, 2024, Russian Center of Science and Culture in Chennai hosted the final stage of “Precise Energy-2024” Olympiad. More than 12 000 students from eight cities of Tamil Nadu, the region where the Kudankulam NPP is being constructed jointly by Rosatom State Corporation and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. (NPCIL), participated in the qualifying stage of the Olympiad. More than 600 students from 81 educational institutions were qualified for the finals.

The participants of the Olympiad competed in several disciplines: university and college students solved problems in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and a general test in natural sciences was held for schoolchildren. This year, for the first time at the Olympiad, student teams competed to solve complex engineering problems that require teamwork and creative thinking.

“We have been hosting “Precise Energy” Olympiad in Chennai four years running. Every time it is a remarkable event with a great number of talented and clever children. We believe that everyone has their own vision of the future and we really want the dreams of these talented students and schoolchildren to come true”, said Nina Dementsova, Head of Communications Division of Atomstroyexport JSC at the awarding ceremony.

“This year I would like to note the advanced level of the participants. Some of the winners got the maximal possible scores in their subjects. For the first time, team engineering contests were held, during which the participants demonstrated not only their knowledge and resourcefulness, but also the ability to work together,” said Alexander Nakhabov, Deputy Head of Department of Nuclear Physics and Technology of the Obninsk Institute for Nuclear Power Engineering of NRNU MEPhI.
