Magnetic coupling hysteresis effect was used to study the faults created by neutron irradiation in iron and nickel. Rings of the metals were irradiated at 20 to 30 deg C and at 78 deg C in the Melusine Reactor. No coupling hysteresis band was detected in Ni at either of the irradiation temperatures. In iron, a very sharp hysteresis band appeared after irradiation at 20 to 30 deg C. The energy of activation of the faults was found to be 1.2 plus or minus 0.1 ev. In irradiation at 78 deg C a very sharp band followed by a weaker band was detected. The activation energies were 0.3 plus or minus 0.05 and 0.6 ev, respectively. After an anneal of 31 hr at 104 deg K. the 0.3 band was displaced toward higher temperatures. The same result was observed for the 1.2-ev band. The interpretation of these experimental results was difficult. (J.S.R.)
