    At 04:25:18 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 210212 ***A*** (trigger=1032183).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 72.261, +7.234 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 04h 49m 03s
       Dec(J2000) = +07d 14' 01"
    with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
    systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a [**double-peaked**]
    structure with a duration of about TTT sec.  The peak count rate
    was ~1218 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~6 sec after the trigger.
