The proton accelerator will be in the capital Yerevan in 2013,
Armenia’s Economy Minister Tigran Davtyan informed during the
Government’s session on Thursday.
According to the Minister, the Government approved the Radioisotope
Production Center to carry out a more accelerated purchase.
Specifically, the Center was authorized to place an order to the
renowned IBA Molecular organization to design the preliminary
estimation documents for the construction of the Center’s building
in Yerevan.
“All infrastructures, corresponding equipment, and the management
model must be ready before the device is brought to Armenia, because
the process is already underway with the assistance of the Belgian
government,” Tigran Davtyan stated.
The proton accelerator is worth 7 million euros, but the Belgian
government has provided a 2-million-euro grant as subsidy for its
purchase.
The accelerator is intended for Armenia’s National Center for Oncology.
