tion spectrum are demonstrated. Sources of Cs/sup 137/, Co/sup 60/, and mock-iodine were placed 40 cm from a crystal and the spectrum determined at 30,20, and 10 cm above a water phantom on the surface of the water and at 10, 20, and 30 cm below the water level. An interpretation of the spectrum at primary, Compton scattered, and low energies was made. The relative difference spectrum of each source is discussed. (C.J.G.)
