ATOM УЧИТСЯ РАБОТАТЬ

«He входи!» Надпись весьма категорична. Но я смело вхожу в лабораторию. Стрелка индикатора, укрепленного на лацкане белого халата, абсолютно спокойна.

То, что найдет геолог, часто бывает загадкой, даже если он на­шел то, что искал. Сколько руда содержит металла или минерала? Насколько велико месторождение? Ответ на эти вопросы будет полу­чен в лаборатории. В большинстве случаев проводится химический анализ, который известен еще с древних времен. Хотя методы его менялись, но все-таки он занимает пока часы, а то и дни-

И вот передо мной первый электронный циклотрон с детектиру­ющим устройством.

Главной целью лаборатории, созданной десять лет назад, был и остается поиск методов анализа руд одновременно на многие эле­менты. Наиболее быстро и точно это можно сделать с помощью радио­активного облучения. Новый циклотрон определяет одновременно и с большой точностью количественное содержание в руде нескольких элементов.

Так, шаг за шагом, усилиями ученых мирный атом все глубже входит в нашу жизнь.
