Continued research is reported in the areas of intrinsic radioactive tracers for industrial process control and the effects of structural factors on radioinduced graft polymerization. The use of Be-- Po neutron sources for production of short-lived isotopes is being investigated. Data are included on the effects of target volume, high-Z scattering media, target-isotope concentration, and macroscopic cross-section on speciflc and total activation produced with a 10-curie source. Research on graft-polyerization concerning the effects of structure on freetinued. Results indicate that the radical formed in a variety of substituted methacrylate polymers is the same in all cases.
