2590.9 x 10-26.9
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The isotope dilution technique was used. It involved the mixing of about 100 cm3 tetrachloromethane with 1 cm3 heavy water in a volumetric flask which was then inserted into a constant temperature bath. The mixture was agitated for 1 5 minutes to ensure the equilibrium between the two phases. The radioactivity of the samples were determined by a liquid scintillation counting procedure.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Received from pile EL 3 of Saclay, contained traces of tritium.
   (2) Source not given, commercial grade.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 0.4 x 10-5 g.
   Temperature: ± 1 K (compiler).
