suggests itself,

No mechanism to explain the former effect
however, and the fact that fair acsreement

exists in most cases between comparable 60-kev and 280-kev
lines leads one to doubt the existence of a consistent energydependent machine effect to explain the discrepancies.
It may be that the disagreements are largely due to

resolution problems in the low energy region of the standard
gain records,

since in many cases the areas could be brought

closer to agreement by taking from one line and adding to
an adjacent line.

This problem is especially troublesome in

trying to separate the 60, 105, and 140 kev lines on the
standard gain records.
A discussion of the overall performance of the system

in analyzing the standard sources, including the consistency
of the results,is found in Appendix I.

DISCUSSION
It is of special interest to note the presence of Nae

activity in both the Zuni and Navaho cloud samples (the only
samples to reach this section soon enough for such detection
were the cloud samples from each shot).

This activity is

evident from the 1.37-and 2.75-Mev total absorption peaks

detectable on the first two or three recordings made with
