    Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. No instrument of 
equivalent scientific value to the foreign instrument, for such 
purposes as it is intended to be used, is being manufactured in the 
United States. Reasons: The foreign instrument provides: (1) high 
neutral beam current (3 to 5A), (2) low beam divergence (0.8 degree) 
and (3) duration of 3 ms for fluctuation and confinement studies with 
plasma. These capabilities are pertinent to the applicant's intended 
purposes and we know of no other instrument or apparatus of equivalent 
scientific value to the foreign instrument which is being manufactured 
in the United States.
