A list of publications and papers submitted for publication during the period is included. Progress is reported in the following studies: a decay-time study of an irradiated scintillating solution; the development of methods and equipment for use in measurements of the cosmic-ray neutron background; the effects of the addition of various gases singly and in pairs to the inert gas argon on results obtained with the halogen-sensitive positive ion tube used to measure the concentration of tracers in atmospheric air; the calibration of a quantitative alpha-track autoradiographic technique; studies on radiation carcinogenesis of radium and thorium oxides in the human …
