The Faculty Board of Radiotherapy and Oncology of the Royal College of Radiobiologists surveyed the factors thought to influence recruitment into the specialty. Possible factors listed in replies of 36 questionnaires are offered. (LBH)

Discusses applications of techniques developed for the remote sensing of infrared radiation. In addition to military applications, remote sensing has become important in collecting environmental data and detecting ecological problems. (JR)

Discusses the research purposes and activities of the Pioneer mission, including the instruments used, data on Jupiter's radiation belt, and information about cosmic ray intensity. Included is a description of the scientist's view about the value of the space program. (CC)

Describes the principles and uses of thermoluminescence technique in dating of pottery and ceramic pieces and establishing the authenticity of artifacts. (CC)

A brief review of how we know that nuclear reactions are the main source of stellar energy, how they synthesize the elements, and how they determine the course of stellar evolution. (Author/TS)

Discusses the human costs of producing and using nuclear fuel to generate electricity and...whether these costs are equitably compensated for and represented in the price of the electricity.'' Analysis considers estimates of the value of human life, lost productivity, and potential effects of radiation. (Author/AL)

Reviews the techniques used by Rutherford in his experiments on thorium, and suggests ways for repeating and re-examining the experiments by capable sixth-form physics students. (LC)

While designed for a senior undergraduate laboratory, the experiment illustrates the principles involved in the various Doppler techniques currently used in nuclear lifetime studies and demonstrates the versatility of the Ge(Li) detector in applications other than direct energy or intensity measurement. (Author/TS)

Describes nuclear teaching experiments and their distribution within the undergraduate curriculum. In addition, sources of information on published nuclear teaching experiments and on the supplier's of nuclear instruments, radiochemical and miscellaneous special materials are identified. Approximate costs for selected nuclear instrument systems…

This resource letter is designed to guide college physicists to literature on the history of the neutrino. The literature surveyed covers five periods: (1) the Pauli conjecture, (2) mesous and the universal Fermi interaction, (3) parity violation and two components, (4) the two neutrino experiment, and (5) neutrino astronomy. The bibliography…
