A joint IUPAC/IUPAP Working Party (JWP) has confirmed the discovery of the elements with atomic numbers 114 and 116.

In accord with IUPAC procedures, the discoverers proposed names as follows: Flerovium and symbol Fl for the element with Z = 114 and Livermorium and symbol Lv for the element with Z = 116.

The Inorganic Chemistry Division recommended these proposals

for acceptance.Pure Appl. Chem., Vol. 83, No. 7, pp. 1485–1498, 2011

More than 100 patients were treated in 2011 on Phasotron proton medical beams.In total > 800 patients have been treated since 2000.

JINR at leadership of the Russian Federal Medico- Biological Agency participated in the development of the Project of the Dimitrovgrad Proton Centre, which

being implemented under Federal Program.

New technological centre was constructed at JINR for assembling and testing medical proton cyclotrons.

Assembling and beam tests of the proton cyclotron C235-V3 was started in 2011.

Cyclotron C235-V3 will be delivered to Dimitrovgrad at the end of 2012.

JINR Educational Programs

EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AT JINR LABSIt is foreseen at the JINR scientific laboratories to create elements of educational infrastructure, which allow students to get acquainted with modern equipment of physics experiments.

An important task of the JINR UC is to renovate ties with leading universities of the Member States. These should lead to emergence of new training programs and to involvement of young scientists and engineers to Complex NICA, DRIBs, IBR-2M and other facilities of JINR.
