construction on the three acres of a now office  !'

laboratory building by the University of Rhode Island close by the reactor building. This now structuro, to be called the Contor for Atmospheric Chemistry Studios, i I will provide facilities for University of Rhode Island i I staff which utilizes the reactor. It will also provido facilities for University of Rhode Island staff which i

[ does not use the reactor. Access to the now building will be controlled by the University of Rhode Island I which will permit and require evacuation of the now
