CYCLOTRON 1 1BG BUILT W-- Izveetiya, 18 Jun 40
Leningrad, 17 June In the yard of the Ph*sico-Technical Institute of the
Academy of Sciences USSR, a building is being erected to house a gigantic
cyclotron, the most powerful in Europe, PLie apparatus will enable Scriet scien-
tists to study the interaction of the particles that make up the ;sucleus1
As a remit of 'he coibined a,;tivity of ncaerful me pets and electrical fields,
the cone of light games in the vacuum -r111 be aw:vd in a apical with incr3aeing
speeds, which will reach 30,000 kilometers per second. 1/10 of the speed of light.
Flying at ouch colossal speeds, the stream of Sons will smash the atcaic nuclei
of the elements under study, during which each "splinter" or "fragment" becomes
the nuu].eus of a new element,
Under the action of this stream of ions, the majorlty of bomrcrdod sub.-
stances become3 radioactive, that is, they acquire the properties of radium
Thus, Anothor p-,)bleu is solved- the replacement of naturlil. radium, a gram .,f
which cost one million rubleq, by artificial radioactive nlemants,
The dietiuctive outlines of a dcaemehaped tower, adjoining a two-story
building, are already visible. Cider the dome of the glass and metal toyer, will
be set up the powerful electromgMoV, veigbing more than 75 to -A. the genera-
tore supplying he magneTe will also be located here. Close to the cyclotron
building cau be seen the framework of a special transformer substation,
The "Bol?shevik," 'Rueekiy Dizei?," "Electrooila," and "Srasniy Pyrborzhets"
factories ogre participating in the construction of the cyclotron.
Assembly of the equipment will b>gi: it. September and in 1941 the cyclotron
will be placed at the disposal of scientists,
