Mound Laboratory is cooperating on a joint development program directed toward the production of polonium-208 by proton irradiation of bismuth. The Electromagnetic Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory is operating a high-current cyclotron for the production of polonium-208 on an experimental scale. The California Research and Development Corporation is constructing the Mark I linear accelerator at Livermore, California, which at some future date is planned to be converted from its original deuteron beam to a proton beam for the production of polonium-208. During this quarter, the accelerator-target-design problem has been transferred from the California Research Corporation, which now is no longer participating in the program to the California Research and Development Corporation. Mound Laboratory will process the polonium produced by any of these machines.
