To investigate short lived fission products using continuous source transport system and continuous chemistry, a thin {sup 235}U-target ({<=}500{mu}g of {sup 235}U on a surface area of approximately 1 cm{sup 2}) is placed in a gas-filled chamber. The cylindrical chamber is then placed in one of the Berkeley Research Reactor radial beamport (S-5). The recoiling fission products are transported by a gas (gas mixture of 1:1.4 ethylene/nitrogen) through a 1.5 mm (ID) polyethylene tube to a chemical separation chamber located in a hood for analysis.
