A series of meetings was held between representatives
the Naval
Research Laboratory and the Atomic Energy Commission to exchatige information on halogen-filled Geiger counters and on techniques for
qeasuring
characteristics of scintillators for use in scintillation cougters.
A proposal for the Radiation Instruments Branch's participation
in Project Greenhouse has been submitted to Los Alamos. The primary object of this participation will be the field evaluation of ci

defense type instruments being developed umder AEC sponsorship.
A series
of spectral dependency measurements has been made in cooperatfion with the
Bureau of Standards to obtain information required for Projeck Greenhouse.
