Abstract: The status of the design work on an electrostatic tandem-accelerator with vacuum insulation for 2.5 Me V protons and up to 40 mA constant current is reported. This machine is to be used for solving problems of neutron therapy and the detection of explosives by nuclear-resonance absorption of γ-rays.
