scarce isotoges t mt are in excess of the immediate weds of t h e processing area. 2. Paper chsrges could be made for radioelemeuts produced by piles (siniZar to charges f o r cyclotron bombardolents). Would indicate t o user the value (particularly in manpower and materials of the producer) of t h e isotopes. Issuance of stable isotopes could be on a loan basis for many Applications for isotopes should have more details given concerning specifications, intended uses, bnd amounts for each use -- similar but simpler form than that proposed for non-project Occasional accountability given f o r amourits used and urused of 1. Allocation of scarce materials for duplicatory investigations with same isotopes: a. Cases when advisable, b. Cases when not advisable. 2.
