ACTIVITIES:
The Institute for Nuclear Research, founded in 1970, is one of the main nuclear physics centers in Russia.  It conducts research in the areas of nuclear physics, elementary particle physics, and neutrino astrophysics. The Institute's facilities include a meson facility based on a high-intensity linear proton and H-accelerator in Troitsk, the Baksan Neutrino Observatory in Kabardino-Balkariya, and deep underwater stationary telescopes at Lake Baykal.[1] In the 1990s, the Institute began conducting more applied research, such as isotope production for medical purposes.[2] The Institute participates in international projects and works with many research centers around the world, including the European Organization for Nuclear Research, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (Japan), High Energy Physics laboratory DESY (Germany), and others.[3]
