2022: Mishustin allocated 12.4 billion rubles for the construction of a synchrotron
In early June 2022, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed an order that allocated 12.4 billion rubles for the construction of the Russian Photon Source synchrotron on Russky Island (Far Eastern Federal District). For the scientific complex, a building with an area of about 20 thousand square meters. m. This work is expected to be completed in 2026.
A synchrotron is an accelerator complex in which electrons move at a speed close to the speed of light. The particles are accelerated by magnetic fields created inside the synchrotron ring by special magnets. Accelerating inside this ring, particles emit special radiation that scientists use, in particular, to study various materials.
According to the press service of the Cabinet, research on synchrotron will make it possible to create the latest drugs against viruses and bacteria, as well as materials that are suitable for working in extreme conditions. The customer within the framework of this project is the National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute."
The main users of the synchrotron will be leading universities, including FEFU and Northeastern Federal University, institutes of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, high-tech enterprises in the region, as well as foreign partners from China and Vietnam.
Work on the creation of a synchroton is carried out within the framework of the presidential decree, Russia Vladimir Putin which determined the stages of the development of synchrotron and neutron research. The Russian Photon Source should become the basis for the implementation of the Priority 2030 program in the direction of Physics and Materials Science. According to the national program of socio-economic development for the period until 2024 (and for the future until 2035), the synchrotron should become an element of infrastructure that ensures the development of high-tech projects and the entry of industry into global markets.[1]
