Basis considerations for the choice of a synchrotron light source dedi
cated for Ukrainian National Synchrotron Centre is presented. Consider
ing experiments and technological processes to be carried out 800 MeV
compact four superperiod electron ring of third generation was chosen.
The synchrotron light generated by the electron beam with current up
to 200 mA and the radiation emittance of 2.710(-8) m*rad would be uti
lized by 24 beam lines. Each line will provide the light beam with spe
ctral brightness of (2-9)10(20) phot/(m(2)*rad(2)) within 0.01% bandw
idth. Two wigglers and an undulator will be inserted into the magnet l
attice. The lattice is to provide large enough dynamic aperture and to
decrease sensitivity to collective effects. The central magnet of eac
h superperiod can be optionally replaced by a superconducting one to h
arden photon spectrum. The 120 MeV traveling wave linac is intended to
employ as an injector. The injector is placed below the ring to provi
de room for more beamlines. For this purpose the injecting system and
the RF cavity share the same long straight section.
