Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4741207

Activities in a program to identify boron compounds which are superior to boron-impregnated high-density polyethylene are reported. The literature survey was continued during the period, and the present tabulation contains 3825 boron compounds with atomic numbers 1 through 20. It is estimated that a complete literature search will yield about 4500 boron compound references. (J.R.D.)
