Abstract

equipment is described, and results are reported of some experimental tests. The discrimination against /sup 41/Ar was found to be satisfactory, and essentially all the water activity was due to /sup 88/Rb, /sup 89/Rb, and /sup 138/Cs. The background components were separated and compared, and the ratio of the normal Rb-- Cs activity to the other background components is 0.58. Results of a failure simulation experiment using unclad enriched U foils indicated that the failure of a Mark-IV fuel rod cladding would be detectable. (D.L.C.)
