" Journal Articles and Books iii evaluating the costs and benefits of agro-industrial complexes under differing assumptions for location, level of technology, and economic parameters. Work since the initial study has included evaluations of many energy-consuming industrial processes that are suitable for nuclear energy complexes, studies of crops and fanning techniques applicable to compteres, and evalu ations of specific applications of agro-industrial com plexes in both developed and developing countries. This report summarizes ORNL's work in the above areas for the period from November 1, 1970, through October 31, 1971.
