A COOLING FACILITY FOR REACTOR IRRADIATIONS

Journal Article · · J. Nuclear Energy, Pts. A & B. Reactor Sci. and Technol.
The temperature of a sample subjected to irradiation in a nuclear reactor rises above the ambient temperature because of the absorption of gamma rays and neutrons. A water-cooled irradiation facility is described, which incorporates a vortex tube as a supplementary means of cooling. The temperatures of samples are reduced as much as 50 deg C through the use of the vortex tube. (auth)
