ARGON ACTIVATION EXPERIMENT. ADDENDUM 1

Abstract

IRRADIATED ARGON MEASUREMENT ARE PRESENTED FOR THE AIRCRAFT SHIELD TEST REACTOR. Results are reported of the initial studies performed on the exhaust effluent from the dry-pool environment (configuration III) of the 3-mw ground test reactor (GTR). With the ASGEOMETRY OF CONFIGURATION II, no detectable amounts of ARGON-41 WERE PRESENT IN THE AIR ABOVE THE REACTOR AT A POWER LEVEL OF 2 MW. With the GTR in the irradiation closet of configuration III (4-inch water reflector), an argon activity of 0.5 x 10 to the-10th power microcurie/cc-watt was generated in the dry side of the pool.
