Footnotes. 
1 There have been at least two cases in the past, 
and another pending, in which Argonne's critical 
facilities have been made available under special 
circumstances. 
2 Although these facilities are listed as ‘‘un- 
classified’’ in the ‘‘Twenty-fourth Semiannual 
Report’’ of the AEC, NUCLEONICS was unable to 
get further details from the contractor or AEC. 
3 This facility may be available for use in connec- 
tion with AEC or other governmental programs. 
4U.S. Air Force permission required. 
5 Possibly. 
6 Plus ~ $1,000,000 for Be. 
7It is available to experiment sponsors (in ETR) 
for the purpose of deriving data from testing of 
prototypes of their experiments.
