Experiments are underway in the PDP to measure 1/η dη/dT and the effects of asymmetric control rod placement in simple lattices of natural uranium fuel rods in D2O. An irradiation test of in-core flux monitors was made in one of the Savannah River Plant reactors to determine the life characteristics of a selection of flux detectors and of the mineral insulation used in their construction. Self-powered flux detectors are relatively new; therefore, confidence in their use hinges to a great extent on proven performance at large integrated exposures. The chief points of interest are 1) integrity of the conductors and sheath during life, 2) life of insulation, and 3) sensitivity. Irradiation testing of the AECL neutron detector rod described in DPST-66-83-5 has been completed. A separate report is being written on the irradiation test.
