so that today a large number of groups are active in investigating the interaction of photons with nuclei. The year 1951 has been ver y fruitful both fr om an exper imental and theoretical point of view in developing a basis for the understanding of the processes involved, although this basis is still quite incomplete and a large amount of future work is required. This report attempts to summarize some of these recent investigations and to examine the results with respect to the various models that have been proposed for the mechanism of reactions. The term photonuclear reactions refers here to any photon initiated nu clear transformation in which either one or many 'Y-rays, neutrons,
