Production Test 105-524-A authorized the installation of a washer seal on the ``A`` horizontal control rod at C Pile in order to determine the characteristics of this type seal when used on unlubricated rods. The most important characteristic to be observed during the test was the gas leakage rate. A qualitative study of the seal wear and radiation damage to the seal were also to be made. This document reports the conclusion of the test and discusses the results obtained.
