“…The procedure is similar to the zinc fusion technique for tritium. Of probable interest to many is a method providing for the simultaneous determination of total carbon and carbon-14 activity in compounds for which wet-combustion procedures for total carbon are not adequate (154).…”

THISarticle reviews the publications in nucleonics from 1953 to the present time. It follows, without overlapping, the material presented in the previous review (167).During the past 2 years, the scope of the field has enlarged tremendously. In this country, the change in the Atomic Energy Act in 1954 caused a veritable explosion among industries as they sought to enter the atomic energy field. In Europe, the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell, England, as well as several other groups has continued to supply tracers in increasing quantities. Several general papers presented recently (1, 2, 4, 132,249,251,379,492) give excellent summaries of the important uses of radioisotopes in analysis in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia.In reviewing publications of such an extensive field, it is difficult to discuss every pertinent paper. It was felt, however, that this type of review should emphasize the widespread use of radioisotopes in analysis today. An effort has therefore been made to include many references illustrating the use of activation, isotope dilution radioassay, and radiotracer methods in analysis. It is hoped that from such a compilation the analyst will discover uses for radioisotopes in his own work, realizing that this technique is not one that is still in the "curiosity" stage, but rather one that has already "arrived."It was necessary to omit many worth-while papers because of limitations of time and space and the inaccessibility of certain journals. A number of papers dealing with techniques and measurements have also been omitted because they had alreadyappeared in extensive bibliographies of summary papers. Manysuch summarypapers, which were presented at the International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy held at Geneva (399) in August 1955, are included in this review.The present paper gives the general references at the beginning of each section, followed by-specific references to items of more limited application. It has not been possible to cross index all the methods listed in the general papers. Therefore, under each major section, it is important that the general survey-papers as well as the specific individual papers be read for a complete picture of progress in the field.
