Abstract
A low thermal gradient version of the Czochralski technique was succes sfully adopted for growing BGO crystals, Now the technique allows us t o grow water transparent, radiation hard crystals of up to 150 mm in d iameter and up to 400 mm in length. Results of the application of thes e crystal in the endcap calorimeter of the CMD-2 detector which consis ts of 680 BGO crystals with a total weight of about 450 kg are discuss ed.
