‘Tomsk Polytechnic institute was founded in n 1906. It has an enroll- 
ment of over 10,000 students. Research work is: conducted by 500 teachers, 
186 aspirants, anal more than 2,000 students. Special research is carried out 
in areas such as internal-combustion engines, insulating techniques, electro- 
vacuum engineering, communications, pyrogeni¢ processes, power engineering, 
and radio astronomy. 
A 4-meter-band radar station has been built for the study of meteor 
activity. us 
The Institute has a television center with facilties for broad- 
casting. Investigations of the television for industrial uses also are 
made. x i \ : 
A Problems Laboratory was created in 1957 to study (1) the physical 
and chemical properties, strength, and failure of dielectrics and semicon- 
ductors; and (2) the development of radio circuits for instruments incor- 
porating semiconductors. In 1960, a High-Voltage Laboratory was placed into 
operation to conduct research on the problems of electric breakdown in gaseous 
and liquid insulation and breakdown and deterioration of solid dielectric 
materials used in high-voltage industrial installations. 
In 1946, the design and construction of a betatron was started. 
Since then, betatrons of 5 to 25 mev and a stereobetatron have been built 
and put into operation. They are being widely used to detect defects in 
metals, to study the reaction of charged particles on substances, and in 
medical treatment. 
Affiliated with the Polytechnic is the Scientific-Research Institute 
of Nuclear Physics, Electronics, and Automation (Nauchno-issledovatel'skiy 
institut yadernoy fiziki, elektroniki i avtomatiki), headed by I. P. 
Chuchalin, Candidate. This facility was organized in 1958. It has recently 
put into operation the first microtron in Siberia, an accelerator for obtain- 
ing electrons with a power up to 5,000,000 ev. 
The Institute publishes an Izvestiya. Candidate's and Doctor's 
Degrees are granted.
