A scientific panel for determining health effects among radiation workers at Israel's Nuclear Research facilities.
Environmental health perspectives, 1997Co-Authors: Richard Laster, Chen SomechAbstract:The problem of compensation to employees of Nuclear Research facilities presents difficult issues to the practicing attorney. The major stumbling block to presenting a well-documented case in court is the worker's inability to discuss the full range of duties at his or her work station over the course of employment. In addition the worker is barred from discussing the types and concentrations of chemicals and radioactive substances to which he or she is exposed, thereby limiting the ability of a competent physician to prepare an opinion on the causation between effects of exposure and disease. This paper presents the dilemma faced by the authors, who represented over 40 workers with cancer at the Nuclear Research facility in Dimona, Israel. It shows how the authors extricated themselves from this difficult dilemma by creating a panel of scientific experts under the court's auspices and with the court's blessings, which obviated the need for heavy procedural rules of court that apply in torts litigation in Israel. The scheme as developed and approved by the court can serve as a model to other countries where security matters are as important as matters of environmental health.

The Nuclotron-Based Ion Collider fAcility at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research
Nuclear Physics A, 2009Co-Authors: A. N. Sissakian, V. D. Kekelidze, Alexander SorinAbstract:Abstract A brief status report on the current development of the Nuclotron-Based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) and the MultiPurpose Particle Detector (MPD) at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), which gives new prospects for heavy ion collisions and spin physics, is presented.

Relativistic Nuclear physics at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research
Physics of Particles and Nuclei, 2007Co-Authors: A. I. Malakhov, A. N. Sissakian, Alexander Sorin, S. VokalAbstract:The basic stages of the development of the Veksler and Baldin Laboratory of High Energies, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, in Dubna are described briefly. Some experiments on the investigation of cumulative particle production and the new direction of investigation of the processes of hadron-Nuclear and Nuclear-Nuclear interaction in which the quark structure of nuclei can be manifested—relativistic Nuclear physics—are considered. Basic methodical and experimental results obtained at the synchrophasotron and Nuclotron are presented, ideas produced in collaboration with theoreticians of the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics are discussed. An overview of investigations in the field of relativistic Nuclear physics planned at the Nuclotron is given.

LTE desalination utilizing waste heat from a Nuclear Research reactor
Desalination, 2002Co-Authors: P K Tewari, I.s. RaoAbstract:Nuclear reactors produce significant amounts of low-quality waste heat which can be utilized for producing high-quality water from seawater by coupling a low-temperature evaporation (LTE) desalination unit. Salient features of the desalination plant, the Nuclear Research reactor and the waste heat utilization from the reactor are discussed. The scheme of integrating desalination plants with the Nuclear Research reactors is also presented. This LTE desalination plant utilizing waste heat from a Nuclear Research reactor will be the first of its kind while demonstrating the safety and economics of Nuclear desalination technology as a viable alternative to producing demineralised water from seawater.
