The optical isotopic shifts in atomic spectra are measured for the first time using the method of laser multistep photoionization of atoms and the changes in the mean-square charge radii of radioactive nuclei are determined. The measurements were performed for the radioactive isotopes 145_149Eu in the transition 4/7 6s2 8S °/2 -4/7 6s 6p 6P7/2, λ 576.5 nm.
