Abstract. The most probable candidate for the role of a nuclear optical standard is the 8.2-eV isomer of^229mTh. The use of the resonance properties of the electron shell as an optical resonator to create laser-nuclear technologies necessary for the optical pumping of nuclear isomers and other manipulations with atomic nuclei, leading to the creation of a next-generation frequency standard and nuclear-optical clock based on them, is discussed.

Keywords: isomer ^229mTh, nuclear-optical clock, frequency standard.
