The staff of the Argonne National Laboratory feels that the year 1956 has been a most successful one. A number of significant developments have materialized from both our basic research and our engineering development programs. In this, our second Annual Report to be issued, accounts of some of these accomplishments - ones which have reached a stage where a summary would be of general interest - have been given. Accordingly, this report describes, for the most part, a different set of activities from that included in the last Annual Report (ANL-5610). We have purposely avoided the format of a progress report in order to present a more readable account of scientific and technical achievement. The reader who wants more details about the work summarized here or about the many ANL projects not mentioned in this report should consult the various progress and topical reports issued by the Laboratory during 1956 , as well as the professional literature accepted for publication by the scientific journals. A list of the latter, in alphabetical order by author, is given as an appendix. A section summarizing the administrative and financial activities for Fiscal Year 1956 has also been included. Additional data is presented to permit comparison with the actual costs for Fiscal Year 1955 and the projected costs for Fiscal Year 1957.
