Activation energies for the annealing of copper and aluminium following reactor bombardment near 4 OK have been measured in the range from 10 to 40 OK. Both the change in slope method and the isothermal technique method were utilized with the assumption that a constant activation energy existed. Computations of the number of jumps involved from the measured activation energy result in an impossibly small number. It is obvious that the method for determination of the activation energies is not applicable, probably because of the non-uniqueness of the activation energy.
