This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

This excellent report, which is an updated version of the first part of the 1961 Manual of Radioactivity Procedures originally issued by the National Bureau of Standards in the USA as Handbook 80, deals mainly with radioactivity standardization procedures. It emanates from a committee chaired by Wilfrid Mann who has spent almost the whole of his working life in the radioactivity standards field at NBS.
