The University of Illinois at Urbana‐Champaign expects to be running a superconducting linear accelerator in about a year. The 30‐MeV electron machine is similar to the one being developed for higher energies by William M. Fairbank and H. Alan Schwettman at Stanford (PHYSICS TODAY, January 1966, page 96). The National Science Foundation has awarded Illinois a $500 000 grant for the machine.
