Blackness (neutron absorption) testing was conducted in August 1994 on selected South Texas Project (STP) electric generating station spent-fuel pool (SFP) storage racks as required by the surveillance monitoring program. The tests were performed to determine if gaps had developed in the Boraflex neutron poison material and to determine size and location of any gaps identified. The testing was performed by HOLTEC International using a specially designed logging tool containing a {sup 252}Cf neutron source and four boron trifluoride (BF{sub 3}) thermal neutron detectors.
