230 people work in the Institute, including 75 research
workers, 5 of whom are Doctors of Sciences and 48 Candidates of Sciences. The Institute
comprises 12 scientific laboratories, a computation center, a construction office, ground
and underground complexes for registration of cosmic rays at high energies in Yakutsk, and
5 suburban divisions: North geocosmophysical observatory in Tiksy, a complex geophysical
station in Zhigansk, a complex facility for detection of wide atmospheric showers (WAS) in
Oktemtsy, optical testing ground in Maimaga, and radiophysical testing ground in
Oibenkuel.
