The energy levels of Po/sup 210/ have been studied as populated by the electron-capture decay of At/sup 210/. An experimental level scheme has been constructed by using data obtained from conversion electron and gamma-ray measurements made with beta-ray and scintillation spectrometers and coincidence coumting techniques. A theory of the energy levels of Po/sup 210/ has been developed using the method of Pryce to predict the levels of a nucleus containing two odd protons beyond the double-closed shell from the experimentally known levels of Bi/sup 210/, the nucleus containing a single odd proton beyond the closed shell. Certain features of the theoretically predicted level scheme amd the experimental level scheme show reasonable agreement. The spin assigmnent for At/sup 210/ has been discussed with respect to the log ft values for its electron capture decay. (auth)
