This paper summarizes the development testing in progress at the FFTF to determine the effectiveness of high temperature microphones as acoustic monitors in the upper plenum of the FFTF. The specific goal of this testing is development of an automated loose parts monitor for the upper plenum. A description of the acoustic probe is included, as well as a discussion of the signal processing. A summary of the results to date is also given.
