The energy calibration is performed with y rays of energy up to 9 MeV from the reaction Ni(n, y)Ni, with electrons from muon decays, and with the P decays from spallation products of cosmic-ray-muon interactions. From these calibrations, the absolute energy normalization is known to be better than 3%. The rms energy resolution for an electron is expressed by 22%/[E, /(10

A search has been made for a correlation between large solar flares and neutrino events observed in Kamiokande for the period of July 1983-July 1988. No significant neutrino signal was found at the time of a solar flare, giving a limit on the time-integrated '*solar-flare" Ve flux < 3.7x10^ (2.5x10^) cm ~^ per flare at 90% confidence level, for £"^ = 100 (50) MeV. These limits are 2000 (60) times smaller than the value required for neutrinos with those energies to account for the excess of signal in the ^^Cl solar-neutrino experiment at some of the corresponding solar-flare times.
