The development of irradiation thimbles for use at 200 to 800 deg C in the Dido and Pluto D/sub 2/O-cooled research reactors is discussed. The thimbles are arranged so as to be cooled by liquid H/sub 2/O, with a thermal barrier of helium gas between the coolant and the thimbles. Overcooling is provided with auxiliary heating. The rig is designed with a temperature control so that thermal cycling effects can be ignored in the irradiation experiments. In operation so far, no failures have been observed due to the water jackets. (D.L.C.)
