Name: Electromagnetic Isotope Separator
Other Names: Calutron
Subordinate to: Institute of Nuclear Sciences, Vinča
Size:
Primary Function: Research into isotope separation
Description: This facility may have been housed and operated at the laboratory for physical chemistry, a department at the Vinca Institute of Nuclear.[1] During the 1960s, scientists at Vinca studied the effects of modifying an "analyzer" using several ion sources.[2] This may have been part of overall research into electromagnetic isotope separation techniques to enrich uranium.[3]
Name: Lasers and Applications Division
Other Names:
Subordinate to: Department of Physical Chemistry, Institute of Nuclear Sciences, Vinča
Size: Laboratory scale
Primary Function: Research in laser components and systems
Description: The Lasers and Applications Divisions conducts research on laser construction, modeling, and operation. Some of the lasers produced and used at this facility include pulsed mini TEA CO2 laser and laser head. Among other things these lasers can be used for IR spectroscopy, photochemistry, and isotope separation.[4]
