Open AI Summary
The first document provides information about the Brovary Powder Metallurgy Plant in Ukraine. The plant has mastered the production of nearly 14,000 products and is currently upgrading its production capabilities. They are transitioning to a new technology for producing iron powders using compressed air. This upgrade will allow for the production of clutch disks for tractors and automobiles using powder metallurgy, which will increase their lifespan three to four times.
The second document discusses the creation of a large radio astronomy center in Siberia. The center already has facilities in operation near Irkutsk and Mondy, and next year a large radio telescope will be completed in the Tu.nkinskaya Valley of Buryatiya. This telescope will be one of the largest in the world for solar research and will allow for routine research of geophysical processes in the sun's atmosphere. The telescope has high resolution and will use 256 reflector antennas to keep the sun in its field of vision throughout the daylight period.
The third document announces the death of Vladimir Vladimirovich Fomin, a founding member and corresponding scientist of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Fomin was a prominent scientist in the field of inorganic chemistry and passed away at the age of 70.
The fourth document reports on the general assembly of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. The assembly elected new full members and corresponding members to the academy. The new members come from various departments, including mathematics, mechanics, cybernetics, physics, chemistry, and engineering.

Title: BROVARY POWDER METALLURGY
PLANT UPGRADES PRODUCTION
Primary source: Izvestiya, December

cols. 6-7
Extract: The Brovary Powder Metal-
lurgy Plant has mastered the produc-
tion of almost 14,000 products.
"Powder metallurgy," relates A.
Gayduchenko, chief engineer of the
plant, "has an important role in the
development of materials which make
the further advance of technical
progress possible."
More than 200 enterprises of
various industries use the Brovary
plant's products. The plant's pro-
duction is currently being updated.
A transition is being made to new
technology for producing iron powders
by the method of spraying molten
metal using compressed air.
Together with the Ukrainian Academy
of Sciences' Institute of Materials
Science Problems, the All-Union Pro-
duction Association "Soyuzspetsstal"'
and the Ukrainian State Institute
for the Planning of Metallurgical
Plants ("Ukrgipromez"), the plant's
specialists have implemented a
complex of scientific research,
planning, design and organizational
measures. As a result of this exten-
sive work, the country's first
specialized production of clutch
disks for tractors and automobiles
by the method of powder metallurgy
has been put into industrial opera-
tion in one of the plant's shops,
The organization of mass production
of clutch disks in Brovary has made
it possible to increase their
life by three to four times.

Title: HUGE RADIO TELESCOPE IN
SIBERIA FOR SOLAR STUDIES
Primary source: Izvestiya, December

cols. 1-2
Entire text: A large radio astronomy
center is being created in Siberia.
It already has facilities in opera-
tion near Irkutsk and.near the high-
mountain Buryat village of Mondy.
Next year, the western arm of one of
the largest radio telescopes for
solar research in the world will go
into service in the spurs of the
Eastern Sayan Mountains. It will
make it possible to conduct routine
research of geophysical processes in
the sun's atmosphere..
The Badarskiy radio telescope is
being built in the Tu.nkinskaya Valley
.of Buryatiya. It was here that
specialists found the area needed.
Resting on a 100-meter cushion of
sand, the area hardly reacts to
vibrations of the earth's crust; it
absorbs them. There are high moun-
tains here, and no industrial facil-
ities.
The Siberian giant possesses
resolution. Its 256 reflector
antennas are arranged in four 620-
meter arms directed at the solar
system. They will keep the sun in
the field of vision throughout the
daylight period and will make it
possible to photograph as many as
10,000 separate points on it
