The Working Group "0ffshore Nuclear Power Plants" was established by the Commission of the European Communities in 1971. At that time it appeared that the option offered by creating new sites offshore should be explored. The present development of nuclear power has not, however, reached the stage where offs hore siting can be considered as a near or medium term proposition. The purpose of this report is to summarize the state of the art for the provision of floating or fixed structures, or man-made islands of the size needed for the construction of nuclear and other power stations. It describes the main factors which must be taken into account in the design and location of such islands and provides an indication of feasibility and cost for each design at the present time. It deals mainly with the civil engineering problems and not other major factors, such as the law of the sea, the rights of countries to locate nuclear establishments off their coast, their safety, security, the energy connection with the mainland, the marine ecology, the logistics, etc. ; many of these problems are directly related to the site and have major economic and political implications. By studying application examples the Working Group has occupied itself with these other factors.

The study which fonns the second volume of this series deals with the interplay of groups and composite particle theory in nuclei. Three main branches of ideas are de- veloped and linked with composite particle theory: the pennutational structure of the nuclear fermion system, the classification scheme based on the orbital partition and the associated supennuitiplets, and the representation in state space of geometric trans- fonnations in classical phase space. One of the authors (p. K.) had the opportunity to present some of the ideas under- lying this work at the 15th Solvay Conference on Symmetry Properties of Nuclei in 1970. Since this time, the authors continued their joint effort to decipher the conceptual struc- ture of composite particle theory in tenns of groups and their representations. The pattern of connections is fully developed in the present study. The applications are carried to the points where the impact of group theory may be recognized. The range of applications in our opinion goes far beyond these points.

The present European success in neutron physics and in neutron scattering applied to condensed matter research rests upon the subtle interaction of new instrument requirements for an expanding scientific program in Physics, Chemistry and Biology and the programme of invention of neutron instruments, which has long been a characteristic of neutron physics, particularly in Germany. Although this distinction between the role played by the instrument demands of "problem oriented" scientists and the interest of "instrument inventors" is somewhat facile, I believe it to be worthwhile since progress needs both components; many of the uses of a new method only becoming evident as it is improved under the conditions of real experiment. The Institut Laue Langevin in Grenoble brings both streams together and a measure of its importance on the or1d scene can be seen in Figure 1, which charts the world publications in Neutron Physics and Neutron Scattering since the neutron's discovery. This figure also clearly shows the correlation between innovation (and publication) in neutron science and the flux of neutrons available. hi1st in 1936 it was possible to demonstrate the wave properties and diffraction of neutrons(1)(2) it was not until 1944 with the "pile" CP3 at Argonne National Laboratory that intensities were high enough to stimulate the construction of the first neutron diffractometer and development 22 c 900 A_ UJ DIDO, SACLAY, GARCHING LL en WORLD TOTAL::: i 700 m ORRR, NRU, NlO:: B_ LL.

A Conference is one thing, its Proceedings is another issue. The 1976 Neutrino Conference at Aachen met with friendly approval, within and beyond the brotherhood of neutrino physicists. The generally well informed "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" spoke of a "Sternstunde" of Science . . . And even without invoking the stars, we may register with some satisfaction that several important developments came to an end. "Charm is found " - hailed Alvaro de Rujula the most spectacular event of the Conference. The organizers held this opinion even before, as is evidenced by the Conference badge: a little aluminum tetra hedron, symbolizing the four quarks, and fastened by a three-coloured string. In fact, the history of the discovery of charm goes a long way back, perhaps even back to the first CERN neutrino experiment in 1963/64, when indications of charged lepton pairs were recognized - long before charm was taken serious. Muon pairs were established by the Harvard-Pennsylvania-Wisconsin Group in 1974, and correctly inter preted in terms of charm. At the Paris Neutrino Meeting in 1975 the BNL event came, confirming the con nection with strangeness and suggesting charm production to occur at quite low energies."

Dieses Lehrbuch uber einen wichtigen Bereich der modernen Physik sollte sich als Standardwerk durchsetzen. Der Autor hat in seiner Forschung Wesentliches zur Klarung der Grundlagen der Eichtheorien, insbesondere hinsichtlich ihrer mathematischen Konsistenz beigetragen und dies alles in das Buch in allgemein verstandlicher Form eingearbeitet. Er fuhrt alle benotigten Begriffe ein: Lorentzgruppe, freie Felder, S-Matrix, Pfadintegral, das Eichprinzip. Ebenso erlautert er die derzeit wichtigsten physikalischen Modelltheorien der Teilchenphysik: die elektroschwache Theorie und die QCD. Renormierungstheorie und Operatorproduktentwicklung werden vorgestellt, Anomalien ausgiebig diskutiert. Insbesonders behandelt der Autor die von ihm entdeckte BRS-Symmetrie ausfuhrlich."
