Fields et al. (Phys. Rev. 107, 1460 (1957)) reported an isotope of element 102 with as alpha activity having an energy of 8.5 plus or minus 0.1 Mev and a half life of ~10 min. Attempts to confirm the results of this experiment are reported. It is concluded that the activity found cannot be ascribed to element 102. (L.T.W.)
