be included in the second publication in August, 1973. The third bibliography added much of the unclassified and declassified pre-1962 literature and other transuranic elements. Environmental aspects of technetium were added for the fourth bibliography. The fifth bibliog- raphy of about 500 references is in press; the sixth is in preparation. Since the October NAEG progress report, 500 references have been added to the computerized information file to bring the total to about 4,000 searchable references. The level of funding, however, has restricted the extraction of information from documents in preparation for input, so that there is a constant backlog of approximately 500 documents. Priorities are set within this backlog in order to ensure that NAEG needs are met. Only those documents of immediate interest to NAEG and its contractors are chosen for entering into the computerized information file. Documents with low priority are on subjects such as waste management, routine monitoring, and environ- mental aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle (transportation and storage). When support levels permit, these documents will be included. PLANNED ACTIVITIES Several symposia on the actinide elements are scheduled this year and individual participants in these meetings will be contacted with a request to provide abstracts of their papers for dissemination. Classified documents will continue to be searched for environmental information on uranium and the transuranics as a second priority. Pre-1974 literature on neptunium and the transplutonic elements will also be addded as permitted by obligations of staying current and user requests. New procedures to maximize the value of the NAEIC will be sought and evaluated. 158
