1, The atcc swator was rated
at 300 kilowatt a,, - na s as p"W ow stated. Two thawand
kilowatts ware to be the output of the reactor purchased. by the East
German Gumn nt for ds iiiery at Dresden in the fall of 1956.
The 30O..ki1 asett reactor bead the following character-
istic" It was intended for research and training and it was light water
cooled and ^odsrated. The reactor contained 58 kilograms of uranium
enriched' 10 present. It had 358 fuel rodso nine millimeters in diameter
and 58 asntitllters 1=g* loch rod was ?eannod" in one-half millimeter
of alv 4 naay the total diameter ten *1 1.imaters. The lattice
spacing was 18i tars center to center. The reactor was run by
Q.3. Fursov, deputy to Q.Y. M,Lgalin.
The 20004Ci2rnatt reactor ordered by the Rant German Government is to be
exactly the semis as the 3004cilowatt reactor except that
the 20004ilawatt reactor will have 65 kilograms uranium enriched 10
percent, with the lattice spacing 17.5 millimeters center to center. The

There wens no plans to boost the Moscow reactor to 2000 kilowatts. The room 25X1
anti faceli.ties available for that reactor could not handle sueh,an increase.

The trop belonged to Y.I. Veksler,
the maXdanm out t of the mnahine was 300 Mev9E:
the phasotron was operating at 217 to 220 Mev*
the doughnut* (i.e.9 magnet) was 1.5 meters, with 9.800
?suss and 50 csroLs moat.
it was very highs higher than that of
the machines in the United States. The phasotron was accelerating electrons
for meson production and for experiments in scattering.
