IRRADIATION OF THE BIPHENYL, ORTHO-, METATERPHENYL EUTECTIC

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4342984
The ternary eutectic of 55 per cent ortho-, 20 per cent meta-terphenyl and 25 per cent biphenyl has been irradiated in an in-reactor facility. Some of the physical property changes during irradiation have been measured. The stability of the two tenphenyls and the biphenyl towards radiolytic damage are about equal, and only slightly greater than that measured for monoisopropylbiphenyl in previous experiments. (auth)
