Each of these courses was of two weelis’ duration. In line with its policy of presenting special and advanced courses periodically as the need and demand arise, the division last spring con- ducted a two-week course in radiation chemis- try, the first of its kind to be held at ORINS. Seventy-eight scientists came from 21 states, the District of Columbia, Canada, and India to attend the course, which covered the principal phases of radiation chemistry and physics.
