An internet based information sharing and exchange service
devoted to encouraging communications and exchange between
citizens of the US and Russia.
Began in 1993-94 as effort to promote interaction and exchange
between scientists and educators between Russia and the US using then-new Internet technologies.
Has broadened since 1994 to include non-government
organizations, businesses, news agencies, government agencies,
women’s groups, social workers, health care communities,
churches, students, teachers - in short, anyone interested in
promoting and participating in US-Russian exchange.
Emphasis remains on promoting broad-based “grass roots”
community-building between Russians and Americans.
F&P provides the soil of out of which MIRnet/FASTnet and CIVnet
and the various Grid projects have grown.

Supported by total of $630K from Ford Foundation (and $70K from other
sources), the three-year old CIVnet project is developing “model” civic
networks in Russia working in partnership with similar U.S. efforts.
Goals:
– Develop communications/information infrastructure in Russian
communities
– Enhance access to enabling information / communications
technologies
– Encourage local democratic reform by encouraging interaction
between public, private, education, health care, business sectors
– Promote Local, national and international cooperation on “digital
divide” issues
– Promote US-Russian cooperation
– Develop based on Russian culture and community life

• Sites selected through competitive, nation-wide,
electronic solicitation (only electronic submissions
accepted)
• Six cities chosen not on basis of need but rather
likelihood of success and of providing useful model for
others
• Strength of local consortia strong determining factor in
selection
• $45K funding for first year, $25K second year, $15K
third and subsequent years

Motivation for Civic Networking
The Bellagio Declaration
•
•
•
•
Intro
Friends
Every voice has the right to be heard
and should have the means to be
heard.
Communications systems and
technology must therefore be
affordable, accessible to all.
To work best, communications must
allow a flow from many to many,
rather than from one to many.
Communities must play an
essential role in finding their own
communications solutions.

Nonproliferation and Arms
Control Projects in the FSU
Since February, 2000, MIRnet has been used by the
Oak Ridge National Laboratory to support its
various collaborations with the Kurchatov Institute
and other Russian research laboratories. In June,
2000, peering arrangements were put in place
enabling all DOE laboratories in the US to use
MIRnet. The primary applications discussed and
observed related to US-RF programs are in
nonproliferation and arms control. Several videoconferencing demonstrations have been held including with senior US government leaders - to
demonstrate the utility of high performance
networks in supporting existing US-RF
collaborative efforts. All of these demonstrations
have been coordinated with Oak Ridge National
Laboratory and the Kurchatov Institute.

Weapons Disposal: Reactor
Physics / Thermal hydraulics
Analyses for Plutonium
Disposition
The US and RF are engaged in a cooperative
program to dispose of weapons usable plutonium in
pressurized water reactors in both countries. While
plutonium fuels have been routinely used in western
pressurized water reactors (PWRs) in France and
Germany, such fuels have not been used in Russian
reactors (VVERs). For the past four years, ORNL
has been responsible for transferring technology for
mixed oxide (MOX) fuel to Russia and Kurchatov
Institute has been responsible for educating ORNL
staff as to the design and operation of VVERs.
Academician Ponimarev-Stepnoi (seated, on screen
from Moscow) of the Kurchatov Institute addresses the
June 13, 2000 video-conference involving participants
from Moscow, Washington, Argonne National Lab in
Chicago and Oak Ridge. Included was Howard Baker,
former US Senate Majority leader, heading up a Blue
Ribbon Panel observing US-Russian programs.
MIRnet has supported this cooperative program
through video-conferencing, ftp, use of the Centra
Symposium web-based teaching package,
whiteboard, and applications sharing.

US-Russia Materials
Protection, Control &
Accountability program
The objective of the lab-to-lab MPC&A Program is
to enhance, through U.S.-Russian technical
cooperation, the effectiveness of nuclear materials
protection, control, and accounting in Russian
nuclear facilities. The enhancements are
implemented by Russian institutes. The U.S.
laboratories provide funding for the Russian
institutes through laboratory-to-laboratory
contracts.
The two partnering institutions, the Oak Ridge
National Laboratory and the Kurchatov Institute in
Moscow, have used MIRnet since February, 2000 to
support a variety of applications - including videoconferencing (demonstrations, seminars, contract
negotiation), large database (200+ Mbytes) transfer,
US participants interact with Dr. Evgenii Velikhov,
President of the Moscow Kurchatov Institute, and other
Russian academicians during the February 22 videoconference between Moscow, Washington, Knoxville
and Oak Ridge. In addition to the video-conferencing,
a demonstration was conducted of application sharing
for joint control of a radio propagation analysis

NASA-Russian Space Science
Internet (RSSI) Collaboration
FTP dominates as the primary application between
hosts on NASA’s high performance NREN network
and the Russian Space Science Internet. With daily
flows occasionally reaching 500 megabytes or more,
MIRnet supports a wide variety of NASA-RSSI
programs and activities.
Positive conversations with
NASA, Kurchatov Institute,
IKI about “grid enabling” USRussian Space Science
collaboration and using

Traffic from NASA hosts to RSSI hosts is shown

Sample Academic Partnerships Utilizing MIRnet
Services
•
•
Experimental High Energy Physics High
energy physicists in the Skobeltsyn Institute of
Nuclear Physics at Moscow State University use
MIRnet for collaborating with US partners at the
Fermi National Accelerator and the Stanford
Linear Accelerator. Data is shared and analyzed
from experiments performed in the particle
accelerators for the purpose of obtaining insight
into macroworld structures.
Investigation of Magnetospheric Perturbances
Moscow State University and the Space Physics
Research Laboratory at the University of
Michigan are using MIRnet in support of a joint
project involving a heavy computational
component and the creation/maintenance of a
shared cosmophysical information database
addressing experimental and theoretical research
in the area of magnetospheric and space physics.

Research of on-line collaboration methods in
distance learning technology development
Based on the collaboration of Ural State
University, Perm State University, and North
Caroline State University in the framework of
their 1997-2000 project “Collaboration in the
field of distance learning in the area of business
management” supported by the US State Dept.,
the project is exploring methods of remote
collaboration via video- and audio- data
exchange (mBONE and H.32x).

US-Russia Collaboration in Plasma
Astrophysics Project is multi-disciplinary,
involving specialists in numerical
magnetohydrodynamics, plasma physics, and
astrophysics. Russian scientists work at Cornell
during one-month visits, and the US scientists
visit Russia on a regular basis. Collaboration on
developing 2D computer codes between Keldysh

US-Russian Internet
Physics Olympiad
In April '00 high school students in Novosibirsk and
St.-Petersburg (Russia) combined with students in
Seattle and San Diego (America) to participate in an
internet-based science competition. Each of eight
teams were composed of four American and four
Russian students. Each pair of team halves were
linked with their own private chat and whiteboard
connection so they could consult in solving the
problems. They were presented with questions and
then submitted answers through an internet-based
platform which was controlled at a central site; the
system delivered each team's answers to separately
located panels of judges.
