The extent of activity build-up outside the 1AC and 1BD purification demineralizer vessels inside the concrete conclosures was measured. The radiation levels obtained at the different elevations inside the demineralizer enclosure indicate that the areas of maximum radiation in the ddemineralizers are increasing. During the first performance of this test, this area of maximum radiation covered of distance of approximately 1 ft for the 1AC demineralizer, while this performance resulted in a distance of approximately 1.5 ft. The distance over which peak radiation levels were obtained in the 1BD demineralizer increased from a single point high in the first performance to peak radiation covering of approximately 1 ft distance in the performance.
