The first prototype of NCC Si-W electromagnetic calorimeter have been built and tested at U-70 accelerator (IHEP, Protvino). Tests have been performed for 10 GeV electrons and 70 GeV protons.This paper describes design and construction of the prototype and tests results. Final prototype energy resolution is about 11% at 90% CL.
