FSBHI "Clinical Hospital No. 50 of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency"

The history of Clinical Hospital No. 50 is inextricably linked with the creation of the Nuclear Center (RFNC-VNIIEF) — the largest scientific and technical center of the USSR and Russia, which successfully solves defense, scientific and economic tasks. The starting point of the history of the RFNC-VNIIEF can be considered April 9, 1946, when Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 805-327ss was issued on the establishment of Design bureau KB-11 at Laboratory No. 2 of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR – one of the most secret enterprises for the development of domestic nuclear weapons. Factory No. 550 of the People's Commissariat of Ammunition, which produced artillery shells, was chosen as the base for the deployment of KB-11.
