ARGON ACTIVATION EXPERIMENT
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4183322
Spectral information was accumulated from the air surrounding the Aircraft Shield Test Reactor (ASTR) in experiments designed to yield qualitative and quaatithtive information on the activities produced while operatirg at highpower levels. These investigations were necessary because of the proposed operations of the ASTR in the enclosed, dry-tank enviromnent of the Expedient- Shield Experiment (Configuration I) and the 2- pi geometry of the Shield-Shaping Experiment (Configuration II). An argon activity of about 2 x 10/sup -10/ mu c/ cc-watt was obtained with the reactor in Configuration I. No other significant activity was found. With the reactor in Configuration II at 3 Mw, the argon activity will not exceed the AEC maximum perrnissible level of 1.6 x 10/sup -6/ mu c/cc. (auth)
