NEWS alyses. T h e m e t h o d involves reducing the radioisotope polarographically t o the zero oxidation state a n d amalga­ mating with t h e m e r c u r y drop. T h e d r o p is removed from t h e solution and radioactivity measured b y s t a n d a r d counting techniques. I n addition to analytical applications, other possible uses include electro­ chemical studies, in situ analysis of highly radioactive solution, p r e p a r a ­ tion of carrier-free radioactive sources, analyses of short-lived nuclides, a n d determination of radiochemical yields. N e w methods for analysis of high energy fuels, such as rocket propellants, were outlined b y G. C. Whitnack, U . S. N a v a l Ordnance T e s t Station.

ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

Radiochemical Analysis T h e three-day symposium on radio­ chemical analysis covered fission prod­ uct analysis, counting methods a n d techniques, nondestructive analysis and gamma spectrometry, general proce­ dures, a n d applications. Determination of fallout material from nuclear detonations on land a n d in the sea was described in two papers. G. A. Welford, IT. S. Atomic Energy Commission, described a system for offsite measurement of fallout material. T h e system, which is relatively simple,
