as set forth in a written report which he had forwarded to the Committees. At Berkeley the interest came mainly from Seaborg's group which vished to make and study transplutonic elononts of.

Is it sensible to build another cyclotron when so many already exist (Dr. Fisk)? Perhaps|one of the existing large cyelotrons which can't make mesons should be: converted(Dr. Libby). The art of making ion sources deliver large currents:is woll developed at Oak Ridge, The project would naturally fall in line with their interest and experience with the B6N eyelotron and the acceleration of N lbs but it would not be crippling to the Laboratory if they do not get it (Dr. Wigner). |a | Yale and California would pool engineering facilitiesfor thePd design and deve lopment of their machines. Yale is very keenly ee interested and would construct the building with university funds, | It needs a machine since it now has no major nuclear fabilities (Dr. Johnson). It would be very desirable to.getYale back into nuclear physics (Dr. Rabi).
