Conclusions In the past 30 years the Nuclear Reactions Laboratory has grown into a major scientific institute, the international staff of which includes around 900 highly qualified scientists, engineer, and technicians with various specialist skills, from the 11 member-nations of JINR. The scientific research conducted at the NRL has made a large, generally recognized contribution to one of the most important areas of science in the world today — the physics of elementary particles and the atomic nucleus, and accelerator physics and technology. The scientists and engineers of the NRL enjoy high scientific status and respect among specialists. Today, many great experimental physicists and specialists in methodological research trained at the NRL lead large scientific teams and are successfully conducting work in the major nuclear centers of the Soviet Union and other JINR member-nations. Founded in 1948 as the national nuclear center of the Soviet Union, the Nuclear Reactions Laboratory provides a base for fruitful scientific research by scientists of many of the central institutes (IAE, ITEP, the Institute of Chemical Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, the N. I. Vernadskii Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, and the V. G. Khlopin Radium Institute) and universities (Leningrad State University, Moscow State University, etc.), and also the institutes of a number of Siviet Republics (Georgia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, etc.). The successes of the NRL staff in nuclear-physics research, the design of improved modern accelerators, the development of new equipment and methods for physical experiments, and also its role in training young scientists and engineers have received wide recognition. Throughout the whole of its 30 years of existence, the NRL has received—and continues to receive —understanding and support from the State Committee of the Institute of Atomic Energy of the USSR, the Committee of Official Representatives of JINR member-nations, and the JINR authorities. The laboratory is proud that, among the works of its scientists awarded the Lenin and State prizes, there is work that has won the I. V. Kurchatov gold medal and prize.
