A description is given of the accelerator IGUR-1, designed to produce electron beams and pulsed bremsstrahlung. It consists of an Arkad'ev-Marx generator, a storage inductance, exploding wires, and an accelerator tube. At maximum operation with a stored energy of 134 kJ and a peak voltage of 0.96 MV, a voltage pulse of 3.2 MV, a current of 45 kA, and a pulse length 0.22 ..mu..s are obtained in the tube. An electron beam of 30 kA at a voltage of 2.5 MV is extracted into the atmosphere. The energy density of the beam at a distance of 5 cm from the exit window reaches 300 J/cm/sup 2/ for a total energy approx.10 kJ.
