Vienna Group within the framework of the German nuclear project

Abstract

The work deals with the large-scale research in the field of nuclear physics and chemistry, which was carried out in the framework of the German Nuclear Project ("Uranverein") from 1939 to 1945 in Austria, which is completely unknown in the Russian literature. The University of Vienna, the Radium Institute of Vienna, the Neutron Institute, as well as the Vienna Higher Technical School took part in the work. Within the framework of the project, the following topics were developed: the creation of a nuclear reactor, the creation of powerful accelerator technology, the creation and study of transuranic elements, the development of computer technology, as well as conducting biomedical radiation experiments
