Russia’s Central Design and Technological Institute, a subsidiary of state nuclear fuel company Tvel, has won a government contract to design an experimental synchrotron for research in physics, chemistry, geology, biology and medicine.

The Siberian Circular Photon Source, or Skif, will be built at Koltsovo, a “science city” in the Novosibirsk region of southern Russia. It will be one of the latest generation of synchrotron radiation sources.

The project was approved by a federal government order in 2018. Tvel said the synchrotron and related infrastructure are scheduled to be commissioned in 2024. Total investment in the project will be more than $580m.

The Middle East’s first major international research centre for science application research, SESAME, will be inaugurated on 16 May in Jordan. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on 11 May that it will serve scientists from across the region and beyond researching the peaceful uses of nuclear technology. IAEA has been closely associated with the project and is an observer on the SESAME council. The facility will foster innovative scientific and technological research in areas ranging from biology, archaeology and medical sciences to studying the basic properties of materials science, physics, chemistry, and life sciences.
