Work Of The Tamm Sakharov Group On The First Hydrogen Bomb Ritus 2014 This web exhibit from the american institute of physics follows the life of andrei sakharov, the father of the soviet hydrogen bomb and a defender of human rights. In june 1948, a “special theoretical group” was created in fian under the direction of igor tamm, which was assigned the task to develop a design for a new type of nuclear weapon — a hydrogen bomb. the young lebedev institute research associate andrei sakharov was included in this group as well.
Hydrogen Bomb Sakharov Web Exhibit In 1948, sakharov became a member of the team developing the hydrogen bomb, headed by prominent soviet physicist igor tamm. this would be sakharov’s job and a mission to accomplish for the. While working for the research group, sakharov developed the rds 37, which was the first hydrogen bomb to ever be made (fig. 1 shows the devastating impacts of a hydrogen bomb). Starting in 1949 1950, sakharov focused intensely on thermonuclear research. during this period he co invented a controlled hydrogen reaction, and proposed a design for a hydrogen bomb called sloika or “layer cake.”. The inventor of the soviet hydrogen bomb became an advocate of peace and human rights. what led him to his fateful decision?.

Created in partnership with the sakharov center in moscow, russia, and the sakharov research centre in kaunas, lithuania, the exhibition highlights the major events in the life of andrei sakharov, also known as the “father of the soviet hydrogen bomb”. In 1948, sakharov became a member of the team developing the hydrogen bomb, headed by prominent soviet physicist igor tamm. this would be sakharov’s job and a mission to accomplish for the next two decades. a brilliant theoretical physicist, sakharov proved himself as an outstanding inventor. In october 1948, andrei sakharov, a member of igor kurchatov's team, began to explore the feasibility of building a bomb that utilized both deuterium and uranium. The breakthrough would allow the soviet union to build its first hydrogen bomb, a device much more powerful that the atomic weapons of only a few years before. patriotism pushed sakharov in this pursuit, explained frank von hippel, a senior research physicist and professor at princeton university.
