The Bevatron operated an average of 80% of the scheduled operating time with the exception of one 5-day shutdown period for emergency maintenance of the motor generator sets. The machine was shut off l9% of the scheduled operating time because of component failure and 1% at the request of the user. During and following the Christmas shutdown period an ultrasonic inspection was made of the flywheel keyway on each of the motor generator sets. No faults were apparent. Charpy samples were taken from the inspection bore in the flywheels. Subsequent"vee notch" Charpy impact tests indicated that the flywheels are operated in a brittle region rather than in the ductile range expected. The research program again was devoted mainly to study of pi - and K-meson interactions. (auth
