Project parameters of the big storage ring are practically reached. At the
project energy of 2.5 GeV stored current reached 72mA. Three SR beamlines a
re installed on the bending magnets of the small storage ring with an elect
ron energy of 450 MeV. Three experimental stations are installed in VUV exp
erimental hall. Three front ends of X-ray beamline are installed on the big
storage ring. One X-ray beamline is out of biological shielding of the big
ring. Construction of the big experimental hall is almost completed. A sta
tus report on the first part of the active proposals is given. (C) 2000 Els
