The core is situ-ated near the bottom of a 22-foot deep water-filled tank, and the tank is surrounded by a concrete bioshield which acts as a radiation shield and structural support. TIhe reactor is licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to operate at a maximum steady state power of 1.1 MW and can also be pulsed up to a peak power of about 2500 MW.The OSTR has a number of different irradiation facilities including a pneumatic transfer tube, a rotating rack, a thermal column, four beam ports, five sample holding (dummy) fuel elements for special in-core irradiations, an in-core irradiation tube, and a cadmium-lined in-core irradiation tube for experi-ments requiring a high energy neutron flux.The pneumatic transfer facility enables samples to be inserted and removed from the core in four to five seconds.Consequently this facility is normally used for neutron activa-tion analysis involving short-lived radionuclides.
On the other hand, the rotating rack is used for much longer irradiation of samples (e.g., hours). The rack consists of a circular array of 40 tubular positions, each of which can hold two sample tubes.Rotation of the rack ensures that each sample will receive an identical irradiation.
The reactor's thermal column consists of a large stack of graphite blocks which slows down neutrons from the reactor core in order to increase thermal neutron activation of samples.Over 99% of the neutrons in the thermal column are thermal neutrons.
Graphite blocks are removed from the thermal col-umn to enable samples to be positioned inside for irradiation.
The beam ports are tubular penetrations in the reactor's main concrete shield which enable neutron and gamma radiation to stream from the core when a beam port's shield plugs are re-moved. The neutron radiography facility utilized the tangential beam port (beam port #3) to produce ASTM E545 category I radiography capability.
The other beam ports are available for a variety of experiments.
If samples to be irradiated require a large neutron fluence, especially from higher energy neutrons, they may be inserted into a dummy fuel element.'Ihis device will then be placed into one of the core's inner grid positions which would normally be occupied by a fuel element. Similarly samples can be placed in the in-core irradiation tube (ICIT) which can be inserted in the same core location.The cadmium-lined in-core irradiation tube (CLICIT)enables samples to be irradiated in a high flux region near the center of the core. The cadmium lining in the facility eliminates thermal neutrons and thus permits sample exposure to higher energy neutrons only. The cadmium-lined end of this air-filled aluminum irradiation tube is inserted into an inner grid posi-tion of the reactor core which would normally be occupied by a fuel element. It is the same as the ICIT except for the presence of the cadmium lining.The two main uses of the OSTR are instruction and research.Instruction Instructional use of the reactor is twofold. First, it is used sig-nificantly for classes in Nuclear Engineering, Radiation Health Physics, and Chemistry at both the graduate and undergradu-ate levels to demonstrate numerous principles which have been presented in the classroom.
Basic neutron behavior is the same in small reactors as it is in large power reactors, and many dem-onstrations and instructional experiments can be performed using the OSTR which cannot be carried out with a commer-cial power reactor. Shorter-term demonstration experiments are also performed for many undergraduate students in Phys-ics, Chemistry, and Biology classes, as well as for visitors from other universities and colleges, from high schools, and from public groups.The second instructional application of the OSTR involves educating reactor operators, operations managers, and health physicists.
The OSTR is in a unique position to provide such education since curricula must include hands-on experience at an operating reactor and in associated laboratories.
The many types of educational programs that the Radiation Center pro-vides are more fully described in Part VI of this report.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 1-1Anna ReorF ciite 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 During this reporting period the OSTR accommodated a number of different OSU academic classes and other academic programs.
In addition, portions of classes from other Oregon universities were also supported by the OSTR.Research The OSTR is a unique and valuable tool for a wide variety of research applications and serves as an excellent source of neutrons and/or gamma radiation.
The most commonly used experimental technique requiring reactor use is instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA).This is a particularly sen-sitive method of elemental analysis which is described in more detail in Part VI.The OSTR's irradiation facilities provide a wide range of neu-tron flux levels and neutron flux qualities which are sufficient to meet the needs of most researchers.
T-his is true not only for INAA, but also for other experimental purposes such as the 3 9 Ar/4 0 Ar ratio and fission track methods of age dating samples.Analytical Equipment'The Radiation Center has a large variety of radiation detec-tion instrumentation.
This equipment is upgraded as necessary, especially the gamma ray spectrometers with their associated computers and germanium detectors.
Additional equipment for classroom use and an extensive inventory of portable radia-tion detection instrumentation are also available.
Radiation Center nuclear instrumentation receives intensive use in both teaching and research applications.
In addition, service projects also use these systems and the combined use often results in 24-hour per day schedules for many of the analytical instruments.
Use of Radiation Center equipment extends beyond that located at the Center and instrumenta-tion may be made available on a loan basis to OSU researchers in other departments.
Radioisotope Irradiation Sources T-he Radiation Center is equipped with a 1,644 curie (as of 7/27/01) Gammacell 220 6 1Co irradiator which is capable of delivering high doses of gamma radiation over a range of dose rates to a variety of materials.
Typically, the irradiator is used by researchers wishing to perform mutation and other biological effects studies; studies in the area of radiation chemistry; dosimeter testing; steril-ization of food materials, soils, sediments, biological speci-men, and other media; gamma radiation damage studies; and other such applications.
In addition to the 6"Co irradiator, the Center is also equipped with a variety of smaller 6 0 Co, 1 3 7 Cs, 2 2..Ra, plutonium-beryllium, and other isotopic sealed sources of various radioactivity levels which are available for use as irradiation sources.During this reporting period there was a diverse group of projects using the 6 1Co irradiator.
These projects included the irradiation of a variety of biological materials including dif-ferent types of seeds.In addition, the irradiator was used for sterilization of several media and the evaluation of the radiation effects on different materials.
Table 111.1 provides use data for the Gammacell 220 irradiator.

manner to the fulfillment of all regulatory requirements of the Within the scope of Oregon State University's radiation pro-State of Oregon, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and other regulatory agencies.
The comprehensive nature of tection program, it is standard operating policy to maintain all the program is shown in Table V.1, which lists the program's releases of radioactivity to the unrestricted environment and all major radiation protection requirements and the perfirmance exposures to radiation and radioactive materials at levels which frequency for each item. are consistently "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA).The radiation protection program is implemented by a staff consisting of a Senior Health Physicist, a Health Physicist, and several part-time Health Physics Monitors (see Part II).Assistance is also provided by the reactor operations group, the neutron activation analysis group, the Scientific Instrument Technician, and the Radiation Center Director.The data contained in the following sections have been prepared to comply with the current requirements of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Facility License No. R-106 (Docket No. 50-243) and the Technical Specifications con-tained in that license. The material has also been prepared in Environmental Releases The annual reporting requirements in the OSTR Technical Specifications state that the licensee (OSU) shall include "a summary of the nature and amount of radioactive effluents released or discharged to the environs beyond the effective control of the licensee, as measured at, or prior to, the point of such release or discharge." The liquid and gaseous effluents released, and the solid waste generated and transferred are discussed briefly below. Data regarding these effluents are also summarized in detail in the designated tables.Liquid Effluents Released Liquid Effluents Oregon State University has implemented a policy to re-duce the volume of radioactive liquid effluents to an absolute minimum. For example, water used during the ion exchanger resin change is now recycled as reactor makeup water. Waste water from Radiation Center laboratories and the OSTR is collected at a holdup tank prior to release to the sanitary sewer.Liquid effluent are analyzed for radioactivity content at the time it is released to the collection point. For this reporting period, the Radiation Center and reactor made three liquid ef-fluent releases to the sanitary sewer. All Radiation Center and reactor facility liquid effluent data pertaining to this release are contained in Table V.2.Liquid Waste Generated and Transferred Liquid waste generated from glassware and laboratory experi-ments is transferred by the campus Radiation Safety Office 28 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 to its waste processing facility.
The annual summary of liquid waste generated and transferred is contained in Table V.3.Airborne Effluents Released Airborne effluents are discussed in terms of the gaseous com-ponent and the particulate component.
Gaseous Effluents Gaseous effluents from the reactor facility are monitored by the reactor stack effluent monitor. Monitoring is continuous, i.e., prior to, during, and after reactor operations.
It is normal for the reactor facility stack effluent monitor to begin opera-tion as one of the first systems in the morning and to cease operation as one of the last systems at the end of the day. All gaseous effluent data for this reporting period are summarized in Table V.4.Particulate effluents from the reactor facility are also moni-tored by the reactor facility stack effluent monitor.Particulate Effluents Evaluation of the detectable particulate radioactivity in the stack effluent confirmed its origin as naturally-occurring radon daughter products, within a range of approximately 3x10-`pCi/ml to 1 x 10' pCi/ml. This particulate radioactivity is predominantly 2 1 4 pb and 2 1 4 Bi, which is not associated with reactor operations.
There was no release of particulate effluents with a half life greater than eight days and therefore the reporting of the average concentration of radioactive particulates with half lives greater than eight days is not applicable.
Solid Waste Released Data for the radioactive material in the solid waste generated and transferred during this reporting period are summarized in Table V.5 for both the reactor facility and the Radiation Center. Solid radioactive waste is routinely transferred to OSU Radiation Safety. Until this waste is disposed of by the Radiation Safety Office, it is held along with other campus radioactive waste on the University's State of Oregon radioac-tive materials license.Solid radioactive waste is disposed of by OSU Radiation Safety by transfer to the University's radioactive waste disposal vendor, Thomas Gray Associates, Inc., for burial at its installa-tion located near Richland, Washington.
Personnel Dose The OSTR annual reporting requirements specify that the licensee shall present a summary of the radiation exposure re-ceived by facility personnel and visitors.
The summary includes all Radiation Center personnel who may have received expo-sure to radiation.
These personnel have been categorized into six groups: facility operating personnel, key facility research personnel, facilities services maintenance personnel, students in laboratory classes, police and security personnel, and visitors.Facility operating personnel include the reactor operations and health physics staff. The dosimeters used to monitor these in-dividuals include quarterly TLD badges, quarterly track-etch/
albedo neutron dosimeters, monthly TLD (finger) extremity dosimeters, pocket ion chambers, electronic dosimetry.
Key facility research personnel consist of Radiation Center staff, faculty, and graduate students who perform research using the reactor, reactor-activated materials, or using other research facilities present at the Center. ihe individual dosim-etry requirements for these personnel will vary with the type of research being conducted, but will generally include a quarterly TLD film badge and TLD (finger) extremity dosimeters.
If the possibility of neutron exposure exists, researchers are also monitored with a track-etch/
albedo neutron dosimeter.
Facilities Services maintenance personnel are normally is-sued a gamma sensitive electronic dosimeter as their basic monitoring device. A few Facilities Services personnel who routinely perform maintenance on mechanical or refrigeration equipment are issued a quarterly Xtg(y) TLD badge and other dosimeters as appropriate for the work being performed.
Students attending laboratory classes are issued quarterly XS(y) TLD badges, TLD (finger) extremity dosimeters, and track-etch/albedo or other neutron dosimeters, as appropriate.
Students or small groups of students who attend a one-time lab demonstration and do not handle radioactive materials are usually issued a gamma sensitive electronic dosimeter.
These results are not included with the laboratory class students.OSU police and security personnel are issued a quarterly XfS(y) TLD badge to be used during their patrols of the Ra-diation Center and reactor facility.Visitors, depending on the locations visited, may be issued a gamma sensitive electronic dosimeters.
OSU Radiation Center policy does not normally allow people in the visitor category to 29 Raito Prtcto 101 Anua Repor become actively involved in the use or handling of radioactive materials.
An annual summary of the radiation doses received by each of the above six groups is shown in Table V.6. There were no personnel radiation exposures in excess of the limits in 10 CFR 20 or State of Oregon regulations during the reporting period.Facility Survey Data The OSTR Technical Specifications require an annual summary of the radiation levels and levels of contamination observed during routine surveys performed at the facility.
The Center's comprehensive area radiation monitoring program encompasses the Radiation Center as well as the OSTR, and therefore monitoring results for both facilities are reported.Area Radiation Dosimeters Area monitoring dosimeters capable of integrating the radia-tion dose are located at strategic positions throughout the reactor facility and Radiation Center. All of these dosimeters contain at least a standard personnel-type beta-gamma film or TLD pack. In addition, for key locations in the reactor fa-cility and for certain Radiation Center laboratories a CR-39 plastic track-etch neutron detector has also been included in the monitoring package.The total dose equivalent recorded on the various reactor facility dosimeters is listed in Table V.7 and the total dose equivalent recorded on the Radiation Center area dosimeters is listed in Table V.8. Generally, the characters following the Monitor Radiation Center (MRC) designator show the room number or location.Routine Radiation and Contamination Surveys The Center's program for routine radiation and contamina-tion surveys consists of daily, weekly, and monthly measure-ments throughout the TRIGA reactor facility and Radiation Center. The frequency of these surveys is based on the nature of the radiation work being carried out at a particular loca-tion or on other factors which indicate that surveillance over a specific area at a defined frequency is desirable.
The primary purpose of the routine radiation and con-tamination survey program is to assure regularly scheduled surveillance over selected work areas in the reactor facility and in the Radiation Center, in order to provide current and characteristic data on the status of radiological condi-tions. A second objective of the program is to assure frequent on-the-spot personal observations (along with recorded data), which will provide advance warning of needed corrections and thereby help to ensure the safe use and handling of radiation sources and radioactive materials.
A third objective, which is really derived from successful execution of the first two objec-tives, is to gather and document information which will help to ensure that all phases of the operational and radiation protec-tion programs are meeting the goal of keeping radiation doses to personnel and releases of radioactivity to the environment"as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA).The annual summary of radiation and contamination levels measured during routine facility surveys for the applicable reporting period is given in Table V.9.Environmental Survey Data The annual reporting requirements of the OSTR Technical Specifications include "an annual summary of environmental surveys performed outside the facility." Gamma Radiation Monitoring On-site Monitoring Monitors used in the on-site gamma environmental radiation monitoring program at the Radiation Center consist of the reactor facility stack effluent monitor described in Section V and nine environmental monitoring stations.During this reporting period, each fence environmental sta-tion utilized an LiF TLD monitoring packet supplied and processed by Global Dosimetry Solutions, Inc. (GDS), Irvine, California.
Each GDS packet contained three LiF TLDs and was exchanged quarterly for a total of 108 samples during the reporting period (9 stations x 3 TLDs per station x 4 quarters).
The total number of GDS TLD samples for the reporting pe-riod was 108. A summary of the GDS TLD data is also shown in Table V.10.From Table V.10 it is concluded that the doses recorded by the dosimeters on the TRIGA facility fence can be attributed to natural back-ground radiation, which is about 110 mrem per year for Oregon (Refs. 1, 2).Off-site Monitoring The off-site gamma environmental radiation monitoring program consists of twenty monitoring stations surrounding the Radiation Center (see Figure V.1) and six stations located within a 5 mile radius of the Radiation Center.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Each monitoring station is located about four feet above the ground (MRCTE 21 and MRCTE 22 are mounted on the roof of the EPA Laboratory and National Forage Seed Laboratory, respectively).
`1hese monitors are exchanged and processed quarterly, and the total number of TLD samples during the current one-year reporting period was 240 (20 stations x 3 chips per station per quarter x 4 quarters per year).'Ihe total number of GDS TLD samples for the report-ing period was 240. A summary of GDS TLD data for the off-site monitoring stations is given in Table V. 11.After a review of the data in Table V.11, it is concluded that, like the dosimeters on the TRIGA facility fence, all of the doses recorded by the off-site dosimeters can be attributed to natural background radiation, which is about 110 mrem per year for Oregon (Refs. 1, 2).Soil, Water, and Vegetation Surveys The soil, water, and vegetation monitoring program consists of the collection and analysis of a limited number of samples in each category on a annual basis. The program monitors highly unlikely radioactive material releases from either the TRIGA reactor facility or the OSU Radiation Center, and also helps indicate the general trend of the radioactivity concentration in each of the various substances sampled. See Figure V.1 for the locations of the sampling stations for grass (G), soil (S), water (W) and rainwater (RW) samples. Most locations are within a 1000 foot radius of the reactor facility and the Radiation Center. In general, samples are collected over a local area having a radius of about ten feet at the posi-tions indicated in Figure V.1.There are a total of 22 sampling locations:
four soil locations, four water locations (when water is available), and fourteen vegetation locations.
The annual concentration of total net beta radioactivity (mi-nus tritium) for samples collected at each environmental soil, water, and vegetation sampling location (sampling station) is listed in Table V. 12. Calculation of the total net beta disin-tegration rate incorporates subtraction of only the count-ing system back-ground from the gross beta counting rate, followed by application of an appropriate counting system efficiency.
The annual concentrations were calculated using sample results which exceeded the lower limit of detection (LLD), except that sample results which were less than or equal to the LLD were averaged in at the corresponding LLD con-centration.
Table V.13 gives the concentration and the range of values for each sample category for the current reporting period.As used in this report, the LLD has been defined as the amount or concentration of radioactive material (in terms of 1 iCi per unit volume or unit mass) in a representative sample, which has a 9 5% probability of being detected.Identification of specific radionuclides is not routinely carried out as part of this monitoring program, but would be conducted if unusual radioactivity levels above natural background were detected.
However, from Table V.12 it can be seen that the levels of radioactivity detected were consis-tent with naturally occurring radioactivity and comparable to values reported in previous years.Radioactive Materials Shipments A summary of the radioactive material shipments originat-ing from the TRIGA reactor facility, NRC license R-106, is shown in Table V.14. A similar summary for shipments originating from the Radiation Center's State of Oregon radioactive materials license ORE 90005 is shown in Table V.15. A summary of radioactive material shipments exported under Nuclear Regulatory Commission general license 10 CFR 110.23 is shown in Table V.16.References

'V.Summary The Radiation Center offers a wide variety of resources for teach-ing, research, and service related to radiation and radioactive ma-terials. Some of these are discussed in detail in other parts of this report. The purposeof this section is to summarize the teaching, research, and service efforts carried out during the current report-ing period.Teaching An important responsibility of the Radiation Center and the reac-tor is to support OSU's academic programs.
Implementation of this support occurs through direct involvement of the Center's staff and facilities in the teaching programs of various departments and through participation in University research programs.
Table 111.2 plus the "Training and Instuction" section (see next page) provide detailed information on the use of the Radiation Center and reac-tor for instruction and training.Research and Service Almost all Radiation Center research and service work is tracked by means of a project database.
When a request for facility use is received, a project number is assigned and the project is added to the database.
The database includes such information as the project number, data about the person and institution requesting the work, information about students involved, a description of the project, Radiation Center resources needed, the Radiation Center project manager, status of individual runs, billing information, and the funding source.Table VIA provides a summary of institutions which used the Ra-diation Center during this reporting period. This table also includes additional information about the number of academic personnel involved, the number of students involved, and the number of uses logged for each organization.
The major table in this section is Table VI.2. This table provides a listing of the research and service projects carried out during this reporting period and lists information relating to the personnel and institution involved, the type of project, and the funding agency.Projects which used the reactor are indicated by an asterisk.
In addition to identifying specific projects carried out during the current reporting period, Part VI also highlights major Radia-tion Center capabilities in research and service. These unique Center functions are described in the following text.Neutron Activation Analysis Neutron activation analysis (NAA) stands at the forefront of techniques for the quantitative multi-element analysis of major, minor, trace, and rare elements.
The principle involved in NAA consists of first irradiating a sample with neutrons in a nuclear reactor such as the OSTR to produce specific radionuclides.
After the irradiation, the characteristic gamma rays emitted by the decaying radionuclides are quantitatively measured by suitable semiconductor radiation detectors, and the gamma rays detected at a particular energy are usually indicative of a specific radionuclide's presence.
Computerized data reduction of the gamma ray spectra then yields the concentrations of the various elements in samples being studied. With sequential in-strumental NAA it is possible to measure quantitatively about 35 elements in small samples (5 to 100 mg), and for activable elements the lower limit of detection is on the order of parts per million or parts per billion, depending on the element.The Radiation Center's NAA laboratory has analyzed the major, minor, and trace element content of tens of thousands of samples covering essentially the complete spectrum of material types and involving virtually every scientific and technical field.While some researchers perform their own sample counting on their own or on Radiation Center equipment, the Radiation Center provides a complete NAA service for researchers and others who may require it. This includes sample preparation, sequential irradiation and counting, and data reduction and analysis.Irradiations As described throughout this report, a major capability of the Radiation Center involves the irradiation of a large variety of substances with gamma rays and neutrons.
Detailed data on these irradiations and their use are included in Part III as well as in the "Research
& Service" text of this section.50 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 101 Anna Reor Wor 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Radiological Emergency Response Services'The Radiation Center has an emergency response team capable of responding to all types of radiological accidents.
This team directly supports the City of Corvallis and Benton County emergency response organizations and medical facilities.
'The team can also provide assistance at the scene of any radiological incident anywhere in the state of Oregon on behalf of the Oregon Radiation Protection Services and the Oregon Department of Energy.'The Radiation Center maintains dedicated stocks of radio-logical emergency response equipment and instrumentation.
TIhese items are located at the Radiation Center and at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Corvallis.
During the current reporting period, the Radiation Center emergency response team conducted several training sessions and exercises, but was not required to respond to any actual incidents.
Training and Instruction In addition to the academic laboratory classes and courses discussed in Parts III, and VI, and in addition to the routine training needed to meet the requirements of the OSTR Emergency Response Plan, Physical Security Plan, and op-erator requalification program, the Radiation Center is also used for special training programs.
Radiation Center staff are well experienced in conducting these special programs and regularly offer training in areas such as research reactor operations, research reactor management, research reactor radiation protection, radiological emergency response, reactor behavior (for nuclear power plant operators), neutron activa-tion analysis, nuclear chemistry, and nuclear safety analysis.Special training programs generally fall into one of several categories:
visiting faculty and research scientists; Interna-tional Atomic Energy Agency fellows; special short-term courses; or individual reactor operator or health physics train-ing programs.
During this reporting period there were a large number of such people as shown in the People Section.
As has been the practice since 1985, Radiation Center instruments, components for most common repairs are often personnel annually present a HAZMAT Response Team on hand and repair time is therefore minimized.

Table VI.4 shows instruments calibrated for other OSU de-ics services in any of the areas which are discussed in Part V.These include personnel monitoring, radiation surveys, sealed source leak testing, packaging and shipment of radioactive materials, calibration and repair of radiation monitoring instruments (discussed in detail in Part VI), radioactive waste disposal, radioactive material hood flow surveys, and radia-tion safety analysis and audits.The Radiation Center also provides services and techni-cal support as a radiation laboratory to the State of Oregon Radiation Protection Services (RPS) in the event of a radio-logical emergency within the state of Oregon. In this role, the Radiation Center will provide gamma ray spectrometric analysis of water, soil, milk, food products, vegetation, and air samples collected by RPS radiological response field teams.As part of the ongoing preparation for this emergency sup-port, the Radiation Center participates in inter-institution drills.Radiological Instrument Repair and Calibration While repair of nuclear instrumentation is a practical neces-sity, routine calibration of these instruments is a licensing and regulatory requirement which must be met. As a result, the Radiation Center operates a radiation instrument repair and calibration facility which can accommodate a wide vari-ety of equipment.
The Center's scientific instrument repair facility performs maintenance and repair on all types of radiation detectors and other nuclear instrumentation.
Since the Radiation Cen-ter's own programs regularly utilize a wide range of nuclear partments and non-OSU agencies.Consultation Radiation Center staff are available to provide consultation services in any of the areas discussed in this Annual Report, but in particular on the subjects of research reactor operations and use, radiation protection, neutron activation analysis, radia-tion shielding, radiological emergency response, and radiotracer methods.Records are not normally kept of such consultations, as they often take the form of telephone conversations with research-ers encountering problems or planning the design of experi-ments. Many faculty members housed in the Radiation Center have ongoing professional consulting functions with various organizations, in addition to sitting on numerous committees in advisory capacities.
