INVESTIGATIONS IN IRRADIATED VITREOUS SILICA. Period covered: March 2, 1959-March 1, 1960

Information to be presented in journal articles covering the work performed during the report period are summarized. Research on color centers in aluminum oxide, kinetics of pressure-induced radiation damage, and calculations related to kinetics of irradiation-damaged vitreous silica using a 650 computer are described. A proposal for further research is also given. (J.R.D.)
