The neutron distribution in the core of the Proserpine is measured by activation detectors placed in polyvinyl or polyethylene bags. The bags must be decontaminated before the detectors are removed, The removal of the Pu solution by rinsing with HNO/sub 3/, versene, H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/, citrosyl, and KMnO/sub 4/ solutions,and by fixation with plexiglass was investigated. It waa determined that a jet of HNO/sub 3/ gives the beat decontamination. It is then possible to cover the bag with layer of plexiglass to fixate the residual radioactivity. The tests showed that polyvinyl bags are more readily decontaminated than the polyethylene bags. (J. S.R.)
