Alpha recoil separation of a large number of [sup 221]Fr sources from a pure almost massless source of [sup 225]Ac made possible the study of the level structure of [sup 217]At following alpha decay from [sup 221]Fr. Alphas in coincidence with all gammas and gammas and electrons in coincidence with [sup 221]Fr alphas were used in this study. The levels in [sup 217]At can be interpreted in terms of the [pi]([ital h][sub 9/2])[sup 3] [nu]([ital g][sub 9/2])[sup [minus]4], [pi]([ital h][sub 9/2])[sup 2] f[sub 7/2] [nu]([ital g][sub 9/2])[sup [minus]4], and [pi]([ital h][sub 9/2])[sup 2] [ital i][sub 13/2] [nu]([ital g][sub 9/2])[sup [minus]4] shell-model configurations. Considerable similarity in the configurations and energies of the states of [sup 217]At and [sup 215]At is observed. The only change is in the neutron part of the configurations where the particle'' partial configuration in [sup 215]At (...[nu]([ital g][sub 9/2])[sup 4]) is replaced by the hole'' partial configuration in [sup 217]At (...[nu]([ital g][sub 9/2])[sup [minus]4]). No evidence for parity doublets is found in [sup 217]At.
