This report documents the testing of two in-core fission chamber technologies for high-temperature irradiation environments. This work is in collaboration with the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). The fission chamber evaluated by Idaho National Laboratory is the micro-pocket fission detector (MPFD). The fission chamber evaluated by the CEA are the 3 mm miniaturized fission chamber and the 7 mm high-temperature fission chamber. Demonstrations of the MPFD were performed at the Neutron Radiography Facility and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reactor. Demonstrations of the CEA fission chambers were performed at the Ohio State University Research Reactor. All demonstrations were conducted with a heated experiment rig up to 850°C.
