With the 100

channel analyzer, peaks were found at about 50 KV, 100 KV,
1945, 210.

Most of these, I understand, are not identified.
MR. HARRIS:

This is just gamma spectrum stuff, and

this is not extremely good sensitivity in high energy gamma

rays.

There were essential peaks that we could not identify.

This was 145 kilovolt peak and a 210 kilovolt peak.

The rest

fell in line pretty well.
