Progress in the nuclear chemistry research program is described. Topics covered include a systematic study of (p,xp) reactions between 100 and 400 Mev; excitation functions of light mass nuclides from targets in the mass region A = 25 to 60; the (p,n) reaction at 100 to 400 Mev,; (p,2N) reactlons; recoil behavior of the Cu/sup 65/ (p,pn)Cu/sup 64/ reaction; the Al/sup 27/(p,3pn)Na/sup 24/ monitor reaction excitation function; cross section measurements of some long- lived radionuclides from oxygen, silicon, and a few first-row elements; the nuclides Cr/sup 56/ and Ti/sup 52/; neutronrich isotopes of hafnium; Sb/sup 129/ branching ratio; cosmogenic C/sup 14/ and Cl/sup 36/ in iron meteorites and C/sup 14/ in stones; cosmic-ray produced x-ray emitters in stone meteorites; electron- capture nuclides produced in iron meteorites by cosmic rays; cosmic-ray-induced radioactivity in meteorites; production of Co, Mn, Cr, and V in thick iron targets by 440-Mev protons simulating meteorite exposure to cosmic rays; effects of pseudo-diffusion'' in marine sediments on the ionium dating method; possible U/sup 235/ dating method for minerals; preparation of tellurium targets by electrodeposition; separation of iodine from tellurium targets,; graphical method for determimmtion of nonlinearity corrections of counters; and feasibility of reactor production of Ksup 40/ for tracer use.
