The conference participants may order a volume at the special price of AS 500,— together with their final registration or at the conference. Social Events: A reception will be given by the Mayor of Vienna, Professor Helmut Zilk, in the evening of Wednesday, September 16, at the Vienna City Hall (Rathaus). On the evening of Monday, September 14 (at about 6.30 p.m.) an informal get-together will take place at the Atominstitut (Drinks and snacks served). There will be a bus excursion on Saturday, September 19, 1987. We will visit the monasteries of Heiligenkreuz and Melk and we will tour the Wachau, one of the most beautiful parts of the valley of the Danube river.
