The JINR Weekly newspaper “Dubna: science, community, progress” published since November 1957.
Если цель большинства массовых популярных изданий – делать научные истины достоянием людей, далеких от науки, то Еженедельник ОИЯИ ориентируется не на читателя вообще, а на вполне определенную аудиторию: ученых, инженеров, рабочих высокого класса. В этом специфика нашего еженедельника, в этом заключается и сложность работы коллектива газеты, который ставит перед собой цель сочетать популярность изложения с исключительной научной строгостью, достоверностью, ведь всякая сенсационность нашим авторам и читателям чужда.
“Мы – за интернациональную суть науки, за содружество ученых, за прогресс во всех областях человеческой деятельности”. А. С. Гиршева, редактор газеты «Дубна» с 1984-го по 1996 год
В условиях международного научного центра трудно провести резкую грань между темой науки и темой сотрудничества ученых разных стран, которое с самых первых номеров стало еще одной ведущей темой. Практически все ведущие ученые стран-участниц, имена которых носят аллеи на площадках Института, были авторами газеты или с готовностью давали интервью ее корреспондентам. Таким образом, еженедельник “Дубна” стал международной научной трибуной, рассказывая о выдающихся результатах научных исследований и технических достижениях. При этом газета никогда не забывала о том, что ОИЯИ -уникальная школа высшей квалификации для ученых и инженеров из всех стран-участниц. Путь становления ученого стал еще одной магистральной темой газеты. Пожалуй, не будет преувеличением сказать, что на ее страницах создается в какой-то степени коллективный портрет современного ученого, достаточно достоверный и объективный. Знакомясь с рассказами о деятельности ученых, как известных, так и молодых, можно глубже понять, как делается наука, как она трудна и как нелегок “путь к ее сияющим вершинам”.“Дубна” – такая же необходимая часть жизни ОИЯИ, как препринты, библиотека, семинары, конференции. “Дубна” – часть того, что я бы назвал институтским “информационным полем”, и без нее это “поле” будет неполным, дырявым. Из недели в неделю она ведет свою летопись будничной жизни науки в ее преломлении через судьбу ОИЯИ и работающих здесь людей и сообщает нам друг о друге, а всем вместе – о нас самих (как сказал бы М.Жванецкий). Дневник нашей с вами жизни – вот что такое “Дубна”… Профессор А.Вдовин, Лаборатория теоретической физики

Another stage of the IBR-2 modernization programme has been completed. At the IBR-2 movable reflector (MR) stand in FLNP, the assembly of the new reflector for the modernized reactor was completed in full and pilot launch was carried out. According to Head of the Mechanical and Technological Department of IBR-2 A.Belyakov, this day was preceded by five years of work – first the design of the software, afterwards, its manufacture, assembly without a casing and extensive adjustment work. And finally, the new reflector is fully assembled, the casing, manufactured from stainless steel for the first time is mounted and launched on the stand. The software will run for 72 hours without interruption.
