engaged in nuclear physics and chemistry research, including quality control 
using tagged atoms, hydrodynamics, and heat transfer. Kazakh's first atomic 
reactor is located in the Institute. Other equipment includes a cyclotron 
and horizontal channels for the study of neutron spectra and interactions 
with atoms of various elements. A Trudy is published annually.

Description: 
The Institute was founded in 1956 to study fundamental problems 
of atomic physics and the use of tagged atoms in biology, chemistry, 
medicine, and industry. This institute is intended to be the principal 
producer of isotopes for Central Asia. A nuclear reactor, a cyclotron, a 
URAL computer, a fast-neutron generator, and a ganma-ray facility have been 
installed. The Institute has Laboratories of Nuclear Spectroscopy, Radiation 
Physics, Radiochemistry, and Theoretical Physics. The Theoretical Physics 
Laboratory is concerned mainly with the physics of elementary particles. 
The Institute is presently studying the effects of radiation on 
materials such as silk and means of making practical use of these effects. 
Devices using radioisotopes for control and automation of industrial 
processes have been developed and constructed here and installed in various 
Soviet plants. In addition, studies are under way to develop radiation- 
resistant devices (i.e., capable of operating in a radiation environment 
while retaining their reliability).
