catalysts when introduced during various stages of chain re- 

 actions. Emanuel' proposed methods for controlling complex 

 chain reactions by changing the conditions during the process, 

 fie developed a number of methods for stimulating slow, branch- 

 ing chain reactions, utilizing the capability of these processes 

 for self-support and self-acceleration. The investigations of 

 Emanuel' are of significance for improving and creating new 

 processes in Soviet chemical technology. Recently Emanuel' 

 has used concepts of chemical kinetics for the study of pathologi- 

 cal processes such as the development and inhibition of malig- 

 nant tumor.

EMEL^YANOV, VASILII SEMENQVICH (Metallurgist) 



V. S. Emel'yanov was born February 12, 1901. Upon gradu- 

 ating from the Moscow Mining Academy in 1928, he worked 

 there until 1931. In 1935 he started working on various im- 

 portant projects in industry and personnel. From 1940 to 1946, 

 he worked as a Deputy Chairman and Chairman of the U.S.S.R. 

 Council of People's Commissars Council on Standards. In 

 1957-60, he was Chief of the Main Administration on the Use of 

 Atomic Energy under the USSR Council of Ministers. He be- 

 came, June 1960, Chairman of the State Committee of the USSR 

 Council of Ministers on the Use of Atomic Energy, and in 1962 

 he was made Deputy Chairman of that Committee. He has been 

 the representative of the Soviet Union at UN discussions on 

 Atomic Energy, and the chief delegate of the U.S.S.R. at the Inter- 

 national Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna. He was a recipient of 

 a Stalin Prize in 1942 and in 1950, and in 1954 Hero of Socialist 

 Labor. Since 1919 he has been a member of the Communist
